Thirteen and fourteenth centuries were crucial for major release of mature thoughts for
scholasticism. The previous, let it consider "synthetic" perhaps the sources from Arabic, and
especially Greek sources; then "critical", where the legacy has its purpose - but one
inspiration, legacy of a man who's life has been based upon dogmatic Franciscan purity of his
own intellectual perplexity1.
The confusion came over when the great teacher of mentioned influence upon this
development, William Ockham (1280 ? 90 - 1347 ? 9), a British philosopher and theologian,
got acquainted with teaching of Duns Scotus and St. Tomas Aquinas. Aristotle, his Physics,
Metaphysics, became critical milestone of his free-will for a logic, epistemology, theory of
nature of Creation and Creations, representing God's goal through which we can capture his
existence, made his thoughts possibly radical.
Description in brief
Division made, consciously or not, has a crucial moment in an empirical thoughts upon that
are based all our knowledge, coming right through God. God, as an absolute being that
stands already as an entity although in abstract intuition, proves his existence by our own
observation of his work; therefore we are getting closer to understand him, understand us,
perhaps. Is that so, because all begins from posteriory analytics of all our reasoning?
Because it is the knowledge itself.
This knowledge is a gift from God as perfect creation then. This gift is called intellect by
which we observe.
What might be a subject of a Soul, we might infere from Aristotle: the posteriory material we
started with, the knowledge, therefore the intellect. Distinctions between two or more
knowleges are called forms, and thus each sensible being is a compound of Form and
Matter.
This might be absolutely considered as a second prior invention. The vision of body and soul
as one, according the logical material divided into three sections: terms, propositions, and
reasoning.
Perceptio, or rather habitus, is a possession of God's creation; by using the very tool, subject
of our soul. It is divided into intuitive, and abstract cognition.
God and contraindication; epistemology
Even though we do not have any constant and complete ontological description of Ockham's
philosophy, from his two primal works as Curcus Philosophicus and Summa Logicae, we can
relate our thoughts straith still and follow.
God is absolutely independent and omnipotent. He is reason and will. Thence things involve,
are part of God's work possible when there is no contradiction. Absolute non-identity. And
total self-esteem. Causes created are not affection for God, but there are dependent upon
him.

Accident lacking substance, form or matter without form, in other words, God had not
produce.
That is why, hence we are searching for reasoning in our intellect, we are searching for its
existence, therefore to affirm the statement "to be true"2. The form is given, so plurality is not
posited without necessity, which means: there theoretically might exists many gods, but the
necessity keeps his singularity.
• natures or essence which is not singular can be proven to become a singular?
• the same can be universal concept in the mind?
If universal concepts then might achieve knowing individual natures, it must be done by
combination of both intuitive and abstract cognition.
Logic
Terms and these distinctions are elements of propositions. They call, signify. We need to deal
with categories as Categorimatic and Syncadorematic terms. All mentioned is but based upon
distinguishing formal and material elements, that the second term-form has definitively
contextual meaning and does not have faculty of signification. Simpotio tells us the term
categorimatic.
Metaphysics
But similarity doesn't dwell in similarity with God's creation because God's has no accidents.
God is non-finite, then infinite as a notion given us in our reasoning since then. Therefore as
well, the universe is finite and always been. Corresponding terms with creations into
formulated question as this, is univocal.
God's conclusioning questions of 'The Word or Thought or an Act'
We need to excel our necessity of our beings to accept the creation. Two entities, two classes
of categories; everything is created for a Man and Man is created for God. Two entities
denotes as a substances or qualities, connotes that one of these qualities are compared with
the other then.
Therefore plurality of forms is possible in human beings.
No self-esteem proves disharmony.
