Portrait of William of Ockham by Peter Paul Rubens 1617

UK: William of Ockham (1287-1347-49?) – Origin of “Occam’s Razor”! (22.8.2026)

The Church and the State would have us believe that out of this quagmire of human ignorance and darkness – rays of light emerged. I can say that William of Ockham did write copious numbers of texts on all kinds of academic and theological topics, including politics, biographies, and philosophy. Part of the delay in the examination of his work by the Vatican in the 1320s was caused by its sheer volume. And it would seem that after his “Excommunication” – the nature of his work became ever-more defiant and questioning of Church authority. I think his conflict with the Church solidified his method of the efficient use of knowledge as a means of critiquing Church dogma and theology. Indeed, William appears to become nearly “Protestant” in his argument with Avignon. He may not have coined the term “Occam’s Razor” (why would a humble monk do such a strange thing?) – but he certainly earned the right to be considered a strong candidate for its modern inception due to the nature of the hostility he had to contend with.

Immediately after the Execution is complete – all involved head to the Prison Canteen where they eat a special slap-up breakfast – a celebration that the Will of the State has been successfully carried-out. The Hangman then must return and take-down the body – which is stripped naked and washed before being re-dressed in burial clothing. The deceased body is then placed in a cheap wooden coffin and buried somewhere in the prison grounds in an unmarked grave – whilst the Chaplain carries-out all the relevant duties and procedures. The “Prison Number” of the inmate is inscribed on a secret map recording the location of the grave – kept only in the Governor’s Office. In the UK Judical System – the body of a convicted and executed felon belongs permanently to the State – and can never be given back to his or her family.
