Ockham published several philosophical works before he was summoned to the Papal Court in 1323 on charges of heresy.  The first was his ''Commentary'' on the Sentences of Peter Lombard, a standard requirement for medieval theology students, who would comment on this famous book of opinions (''sententia'') on certain controversial or difficult theological statements. Ockham also wrote several commentaries on Aristotle's works (also a standard medieval ''genre'', and published his debates on 'Quodlibetal questions' (i.e. questions on any subject you like).

Ockham’s great work is ''Summa'' of Logic, which is partly a treatise or manual of logic, partly a work of metaphysics which resolves many great philosophical questions to matters of logic and language.  it is the last of his 'academic' works.
