{"product_id":"william-of-ockham-dialogus-part-1-book-6-9780197267516","title":"William of Ockham, Dialogus Part 1, Book 6","description":"William Ockham intended the \u003cem\u003eDialogus\u003c\/em\u003e to be a thorough examination (a \"summa\") of the doctrinal and political issues at stake during what in fact became the last major confrontation between Church and State in the waning period of the Western Middle Ages. Part I of the project, entitled \"Concerning Heretics\", dealt with the problem of a Pope betraying the main values of his community, and the lengthy Book 6 described the consequent inquisition and punishment. The \u003cem\u003eDialogus\u003c\/em\u003e is to Ockham what \u003cem\u003eThe Republic\u003c\/em\u003e is to Plato or the \u003cem\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/em\u003e to Hobbes. It is one of the great treatises in the history of political thought. Cast in the form of a discussion between a master and a student, while primarily focusing on the concrete events of its time, it enunciates general principles which are easily adaptable to any socio-political situation involving human political interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Knysh, \u003cem\u003eRetired Professor of Political Studies, University of Manitoba\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGeorge Knysh studied at the University of Manitoba (B.A. University Gold Medal, 1959; M.A, 1962) and at the University of London (London School of Economics and Political Science, Ph.D. 1968) where he completed his dissertation on the political thought of William of Ockham.
