logical analysis, semantic doctrine, monad, Occam’s razor.Abstract
This article has as its objective to show how Ockham’s logical analysis eliminates the problem despite the existence of the universals terms in the reality and brings to light his nominalist semantic doctrine. The argumentation has as scope the thesis that the work of the ontological reduction of beings puts in evidence a reality composed from monads – essential entities, simple and of singular character. The philosopher’s ontology, however, is only made explicit from the methodological principle of parsimony, that is, the non-multiplication of the beings unnecessarily – the Occam’s Razor.
