The volume contains 15 papers on central aspects of Ockham's work, covering his biography and the context of his writing (by \textit{W. J. Courtenay}), Ockham's semantics and his concept of a mental language (\textit{C. Panaccio}, \textit{D. Chalmers}, \textit{D. Klima}), his ideas on cognition (\textit{E. Stump}, \textit{E. Karger}), his nominalist metaphysics (\textit{P. V. Spade}), his ethics and political philosophy (\textit{P. King}, \textit{M. Mccord Adams}, \textit{A. S. Mcgrade}, \textit{J. Kilcullen}), and his theological writings (\textit{A. J. Freddoso}, \textit{R. Wood}).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE\textit{C. G. Normore} surveys in his contribution on ``Some aspects of Ockham's logic'' (pp. 31-52) scope and conceptions of his ``Summa logicae''. \textit{A. Goddu} deals in a short passage of ``Ockham's philosophy of nature'' (pp. 143-167) with his philosophy of mathematics (pp. 150-154) discussing his denial of the existence of quantity as a thing which can be distinguished from a thing that is quantified.
