SIN CITY




SIN CITY it's called here because:
director: Frank Millers.

Basin City, a city also known as the City of Sin because of its widespread corruption. This scenario has a series of recurring characters and environments, from among those that highlight two: the prostitutes of Old Town, that because locked in an area where neither the police dares to come between them have been organized to protect themselves, and Kadi's, the most deaf Garito the city, a crossroads for much of the shady of the city and whose main attraction is the spectacle of Nancy, a dancing half-naked young man dressed in denim.

Thugs, prostitutes, corrupt politicians, hired murderers, the local mafia, all kinds of different people from bad losers and live ... These are the type of characters who populate the stories of Sin City. Characters are also regularly intersect (it is the usual side of a story reappear in others, or that even the players in some of them engaged in other brief appearances) to give a feeling of "cross lives" and a sense of unity to the whole , But each delivery of Sin City is a story in itself.

william of Ockham




William of Ockham::

Introduction

Waas born in Ockham, in england, on 1285, he was very poor. he was the principal nominalist of the 14 century. He entered the Order of the Franciscans at a very early age, studying theology in Oxford where he was a professor between 1317 and 1319.

Critical of the ideas of thomas aquinas, he was very polemical in his own time, as he considered the existence of God more of a probability than a certainty. Outstanding among his works is the Quodlibeta Septem, a commentary on the sentences of Pietro Lombardo. It seems that he could have died of the plague in 1347.


his works

Ockham joined the Franciscan Order was still very young and was raised in the first Franciscan house in London and later in Oxford. Did not complete his studies at Oxford, but it was during this period and the years immediately following when he wrote most of the philosophical and theological works on which his reputation rests primarily.

  • Political crisis: secularization of European political system; opposition from papacy and the civil power.



• Crisis religious schism to Occidente, captivity of Avignon, groups heretics, mystical retreat, and so on.


• Economic Crisis: the return of hunger, pests and mortalities, economic fluctuations.


• Crisis social collapse feudal, emigration from the countryside to the city, European urbanization.




• Crisis philosophical and theological: opposition between so-called "road Old "and" modernorum way.




think to understand Ockham as a philosopher, we must not lose sight of that one of his main concerns was to purge the theology and Christian philosophy of all traces of Greek need
