JMJones0424 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I can't claim to be well versed on mythology, but I always thought it should have been named solium rather than helium, as all the other planets are named after the roman rather than the greek gods. And the body is referred to as "sol" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMJones0424 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Was Ockham imprisoned? It has generally been held that in 1322 he appeared as the provincial of England at the celebrated assembly of the Franciscan order at Perugia, and that there he headed the revolt of the Franciscans against Pope John XXII; but, according to Little (English Historical Review, VI, 747), the provincial minister on this occasion was William of Nottingham. Probably, however, Occam was present at the assembly. His share in this revolt resulted in his imprisonment, on the charge of heresy, for seventeen weeks in the dungeons of the papal palace at Avignon. He and his companions -- Michael of Cesena, general of the order, and Bonagratia -- managed to escape, and found their way to Munich, where they aided Louis IV or V of Bavaria in his long contest with the papal curia. It was for Occam's share in this controversy that he was best known in his lifetime. from William of Ockham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Was Ockham imprisoned? He was lucky he wasn't in Rome at the time, he would have been killed there and then if he did that in the city walls... Yeah he was imprisoned, as was anyone who disagreed with the Pope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
