The Philosophy of Razors, as exemplified by
Ockham's razor
also spelled OCCAM'S RAZOR, also called LAW OF ECONOMY, or LAW OF PARSIMONY, principle stated by
William of Ockham (1285-1347/49), a scholastic, that non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem ; i.e., entities
are not to be multiplied beyond necessity. The principle was, in fact, invoked before Ockham by Durand de Saint-Pourçain, a French Dominican theologian and
philosopher of dubious orthodoxy, who used it to explain that abstraction is the apprehension of some real entity, such as an
Aristotelian cognitive species, an active intellect, or a disposition, all of which he spurned as unnecessary. Likewise, in science,
Nicole d'Oresme, a 14th-century French physicist, invoked the law of economy, as did Galileo later, in defending the simplest
hypothesis of the heavens. Other later scientists stated similar simplifying laws and principles. Ockham, however, mentioned the principle so frequently and employed it so sharply that it was called "Ockham's razor." He
used it, for instance, to dispense with relations, which he held to be nothing distinct from their foundation in things; with efficient

The component has no "substance" if it can be. Victor J. Steger, in 1998, used Occam’s razor to excise David Bohm's addition in the 1950s of quantum potential to equations to account for quantum effects. Bohm’s theory, as it was proposed, gives no new empirical predictions and yet to be justified, superluminal (faster than light) connections, for which no test has yet been devised, must be assumed.

A kopernikuszi rendszer igazságát (Kepler szerint) mint magától értetôdô tényt kell elfogadni, nem kell sok száz oldalon nagy ravaszsággal igazolni. Érdekességként még megemlítjük, hogy egy olyan ifjú titán, mint amilyen ebben az idôben Descartes volt, járt Itáliában, de semmi jele, hogy igyekezett volna Galileit felkeresni, hogy lerója nála tiszteletét; sôt azt írja Galilei könyvérôl: "Beleolvastam, úgy látom, jól filozofál, de azt is látom, hogy nem követi mindig a legrövidebb utat, és megállapításaihoz nem kell valami nagy geométernek lenni." Nem is olvasta végig Descartes a könyvet, mert unta. a b a b b mozog, viszont ha a b a b mozog. Itt a Föld mozgása melletti érvek hangzanak el, és a vájt fülûek azt is észreveszik, hogy az érvelés a késôbbi Galilei-féle relativitás elvét használja, tehát az idôpont 1600 körüli év, a szerzô minden bizonnyal maga Galilei. Az idézetek valójában sokkal korábbiak: az egyik Nicole d'Oresme püspöktôl származik 1350 táján, tehát 300 évvel koráóbi... A másik Cusanustól való, a "bíboros és eretnek"-tôl, ahogy Vas István egyik versében nevezi, úgy 200 évvel Galilei elôtt vélekedett így.

Kezdjük azzal a megfigyeléssel, hogy az emberi agynak megvan az a képessége, hogy képet, vagyis gondolati modelleket alkosson a világról, méghozzá különbözõ idõrendszerekben egyidejûleg is. Vagy másként megfogalmazva: ameddig minden egyes emberi agy a maga biológiai idõintervallumát foglalja el, kezdve születésével és a halálával bezárólag, az emberi faj fejlõdésével együtt kialakult az agynak az a képessége, hogy megalkossa, modellezze a világot különbözõ nagyszámú mentálisan kialakított szimbolikus idõk segítségével, noha ezen idõk nagy részének alig volt valami köze az egyén ténylegesen tapasztalt idejéhez. Ez a képesség lényegi összetevõje az emberi agy ama tulajdonságának, hogy képes absztrakt rendszereket teremteni, melyek végül is a nyelv és a kultúra kialakításához vezettek. A kortársi életünk legáthatóbb szimbolikus ideje az, amit metrikus idõ nek nevezek. Ez az idõ, amit órákkal mérünk.

There may still be errors such as missing or misspelled words, but this should be good enough to get through it. Rich. page 202 that its behavior confirms "with the natural order of things." In 1377, a French scientist and philosopher, Nicole d'Oresme, coined the term "the clockwork universe."' Oresme looked to the heavens and saw the same principles at work as could be found in the workings of a master clock. Over the next several centuries, European scholars increasingly relied on the clock metaphor to explain the workings of the universe, nature, living systems, and the body politic. The clock, which was reordering the time frame and the temporal consciousness of much of Europe, was also being looked to as a convenient model for reordering the metaphysics of existence. Thus, God became the first casualty of the new clockwork universe. At the height of the Church's reign over medieval Europe, St. Thomas Aquinas likened God to a craftsman, an artist who had expertly crafted his creation and then continued to work along with his appointed emissaries on earth to perfect his handiwork. The modem scholars provided God with a new vocation. He became the master clockmaker, who had assembled the universe by the same sort of mechanistic principles used to assemble a clock. In place of the personal God who intervened into the affairs of the world and actually took part in the life of his creation, the clockmaker God was remote and, if not uncaring, at least impartial.

This question has been asked repeatedly since the 19th century, when the domination of the globe by Western nations became indisputable, through the 1960s, when this domination was finally cast into doubt, up until today, although in a somewhat modified form: what is it that has made Western, male-dominant, ruling-class culture so successful in controlling the world? The two questions are similar but fundamentally different. The first presupposes a "progress" model of history (Whig, Marxian, Deweyian) and implies the justification of the Western humanistic culture's triumph. The second (post-Marxist, Heidegerrian, "Frankfurtian") departs from a belief, summarized by Paolo Rossi in

The 2002 Conference
The UMAC 2002 Conference was held in Sydney and Canberra in Australia from Sunday 29 September - Friday 4 October 2002. The title and theme of the conference was: Exposing and Exploiting the Distinct Character of University Museums and Collections.
A Contribution to the History of University Museums and Collections in Europe
Introduction Contrary to what is commonly thought, the current meaning and origin of the word museum - and, therefore, of the International Council of Museum's definition - does not come from the Greek museion or the Roman museum or but from the 18th century museum . Both Greek and Roman terms meant a place suitable for learned discussion and study (Whitehead 1970, Lewis 1984, Hunter 2001, Taub 2001). Fr example, the Museion of Alexandria, founded c. 290 BC, included a library, a botanical garden, a menagerie, and a collection of paintings and sculpture casts to be copied by young artists (Whitehead 1970, Lewis 1984, Boylan 1999). The Museion was a small integrated academia in itself, where learning through direct observation and perhaps some forms of experiments took place. Clearly, the Museion has little to do with what we call a museum today (Lewis 1984). However, it has a lot to do with what university museums stand for.

Another work by Oresme contains the first use of a fractional exponent, although, of course, not in modern notation. He is also credited with the rules of exponents: x m x n = x m+n (x m n = x mn . For each rule, specific examples and applications were given. Even more imaginative was his suggestion that irrational powers are possible. Oresme also worked on infinite series. He was the first to prove that the harmonic series diverges. Oresme also opposed the theory of a stationary Earth as proposed by Aristotle and taught motion of the Earth, 200 years before Copernicus. However he spoiled this fine piece of thinking by rejecting his own ideas in the end. He also wrote a work dealing with the nature of light, reflection of light, and the speed of light.
