Ockham's political ideas
Keywords:
Philosophy, Religion, Jesuit, Franciscan scholasticsAbstract
William Ockham, the Venerabilis Inceptor and Doctor plus quam subtilis, began his academic career, simply as a theologian and philosopher, who had not, or at least did not reveal the slightest interest in political questions. In the year 1324, or at least in 1327, he had completed all his works on purely theological or philosophical matters, of which we are aware. In none of these writings is there any trace or mention of any political idea of value. Not even the controversy over the ideal of Franciscan poverty has left no trace in the written lines.
Author Biography
-
Philotheus Boehner, University of Münster
Boehner was born Heinrich Boehner in Lichtenau, Westphalia. He entered the Franciscan Order in 1920, and received the name Philotheus,[2] the Latin form of the Greek Philotheos, ("friend of God"). In 1927 he was ordained a priest, although he was so ill with tuberculosis that he was not expected to live. While resting, he began his work as a medieval scholar translating Étienne Gilson's work on St. Bonaventure. In the 1930s he became a close friend of Gilson.
In the summer of 1940, Boehner moved to the College of St. Bonaventure (now a university), where he taught Franciscan philosophy, and it was here that he began to develop the Franciscan Institute into a center of international Franciscan scholarship.Reference
