Ockham and political discourse in the late Middle Ages

"The English Franciscan William of Ockham (c. 1285-1347) was one of the most influential philosophers and theologians in late medieval Europe. This book offers a fresh reappraisal of Ockham's political thought by approaching his anti-papal writings as a series of polemical responses. His aggressive and persistent attack on the papacy emerges in this study as an attempt to rescue the ethical foundations of the Christian society from the political influences of heretical popes."--BOOK JACKET.
