William of Ockham. One of the three great scholastic philosopher-theologians (the other two being St Thomas and John Duns Scotus). Never quite achieved the recognition given to the other two. Famous for his 'razor', though it did not originate with him, and famous for his Nominalism, of which more later.

To begin with:
Philosophy Metaphysics Existence Essence Aristotelian logic Nominalism
I am another refugee from Wikipedia. Why did I leave? Best to email me on that!
