Ockham's comprehensive treatise on logic — the most systematic presentation of medieval nominalist logic, covering terms, propositions, and syllogistics.
Nominalism formalized: general terms do not refer to real universals — they are mental or linguistic signs that signify many individuals. Suppositio theory: the theory of how terms refer in propositions. A complete medieval logic: terms, propositions, syllogisms, and fallacies treated with extraordinary rigor. The most complete presentation of Ockham's nominalist philosophy in technical form.
