Thus, comparisons of Ockham's ideas with the classical and earlier medieval traditions as well as with the political thought of his contemporaries have been greatly restricted. This has proved a difficult and lengthy enough task to require omitting other important matters or treating them all too briefly. I have tried to provide as clear an account of these ideas as possible and to do so from Ockham's own standpoint. PREFACE This book is an account of Ockham's political principles, the central ideas about individual action and governmental institutions elaborated in the large body of polemical writings he produced at Munich in the two decades from 1328 until his death.
