Recensione

Review of the hardback: '... Ockham and Political Discourse in the Late Middle Ages is without doubt a very carefully prepared work, reflecting scrupulousness and precision in its research methods.' Leonardo Marchettoni, Iura Gentium: Rivista di filosofia del diritto internazionale e della politica globale

Review of the hardback: 'Shogimen's careful readings and precise contextualization bring to the fore a full picture of an Ockham who has been only dimly viewed in the past. Serious scholars of medieval thought owe him a large debt of gratitude for writing a volume that will be read and debated for decades to come.' The Review of Politics

Review of the hardback: 'Shogimen's work has likely begun a new chapter in the scholarship of Ockham's political writings by introducing more expressly theological elements into the mixture and this book will certainly deserve a place next to the analyses of McGrade, Kilcullen, Miethke and Tierney in the library of any student of Ockham.' Medievalia et Humanistica

Review of the hardback: '... the overall interpretation of Ockham's political thought is challenging, all the more since Shogimen focuses on what interested his subject most, ecclesiastical affairs, rather than temporal regimes. Ockham, as he is presented here, was a theologian trying to re-establish what he saw as the right order of the church, a political theologian and not a political theorist in our terms.' Speculum

'... an important and illuminating exploration of the theological and moral purpose behind Ockham's political writings.' Heythrop Journal

Descrizione del libro

The English Franciscan William of Ockham (c.1285–1347) is widely known as one of the most influential philosophers and theologians in late medieval Europe, but his political thought remains enigmatic. This 2007 book offers a fresh historical reappraisal of Ockham's anti-papal polemical writings.
