William of Ockham was an English Franciscan and scholastic philosopher, from Ockham, a small village in Surrey, in England. He is considered, along with Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus, to be one of the major figures of medieval thought. Although commonly known for Ockham's Razor, the methodological principle that bears his name, Ockham also produced significant works on logic, physics, and theology. In the Church of England, his day of commemoration is April 10.
