Occam's Razor

William Ockham, a medieval English philosopher, was one of the representatives of nominalism. He opposed the thought method of the realist to deduct the individual existence from the universal. He believed that the individual is and only the individual is the real existence, and there is no single existence in the universal, even in the spirit of God, there is no universal "before things". Otherwise the doctrine that God created the world out of nothing would be hard to sustain. The universal, after the thing, is but the general notion or sign which exists in the understanding, and to which there is no real object in reality. Occam then offered his famous observation: "What can be done with less is done with more in vain. "The posterity summarizes as "if not necessary, do not add entity". In the history of philosophy, Occam's idea is figuratively called "Occam's razor".

The Renaissance

"Renaissance" refers to the ideological and cultural movement that originated in Italy from the 14th to the 16th century and then expanded to European countries. It takes the revival of classical culture as its form and humanism as its essence, and has extremely important historical significance in the history of western thought. The main representatives are Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo in Italy, Montaigne and Rabelais in France, Shakespeare in England and so on. The Renaissance provided the theoretical and ideological foundation for modern philosophy.

Enlightenment

Enlightenment is the basic spirit of modern philosophy. The French philosophy of the 18th century is often called Enlightenment or Enlightenment, but in fact Enlightenment is the basic spirit of the whole modern philosophy. Enlightenment takes reason as the supreme authority and freedom as the ideal. It opposes religious superstition, feudal autocracy, ignorance and backwardness, advocates reason, advocates science, dispersals knowledge, and educates the masses. It has formed an ideological liberation movement that is the largest in scale, longest in length and has the most extensive influence in human history. Enlightenment has its limitations. When philosophers try to extend the scientific spirit to all areas of nature, society and human beings themselves, they form a mechanistic deterministic world view, which negates freedom and human values and dignity.
