Abstract
William of Ockham is a little-known figure. However, his philosophical work is of extraordinary importance that is worth recovering. In this sense, his contributions to liberal thought are relevant, which, in an incomprehensible way, have been ignored when not disdained by some classic representative authors of that ideology. The text that is offered to the reader tries to repay that debt and put Ockham in the place he deserves to have in the pantheon of the forerunners of liberalism.
