2. Reason / B. Laws of Thought / 6. Ockham's Razor
Why use more things when fewer will do?
                        Full Idea: It is pointless to do through more things something that can be done through fewer.
                        From: William of Ockham (Tractatus de corpore Christi [1323], Ch. 29), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 14.3
                        A reaction: The more famous formulation isn't found in his works, so I'm delighted to find an authentic quotation from the man.
26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 7. Later Matter Theories / b. Corpuscles
Every extended material substance is composed of parts distant from one another
                        Full Idea: Every extended material substance is composed of substantial parts distant from one another in place or location.
                        From: William of Ockham (Tractatus de corpore Christi [1323], Ch. 12)
                        A reaction: Pasnau glosses this as that 'bodies have corpuscular structure', meaning that they are made up of parts of matter (rather than just enformed matter, I think).
