Summary

Description
English: This image symbolizes Ockham's razor. 'Ockham's razor' is another name for the principle of ontological parsimony, one of the earliest instances of which is found in William of Ockham's writings about nominalism. The image began as an outline of a standard double edged disposable razor blade designed for use with the classic safety razor. The outline is horizontally foreshortened and the word "OCKHAM" is written right side up above the securing hole and written upside down below it. I designed this as an icon to represent my "ockraz" online profiles.
Hrvatski: Ova slika simbolizira Ockhamovu britvu. Ockhamova britva je drugo ime za princip ontološke parsimonije, jedan od ranih primjera koji se nalazi u Ockhamovim pisanjima o nominalizmu. Slika je nastala kao obris standardne obostrane jednokratne britvice dizajnirane za upotrebu s klasičnom sigurnosnom britvom. Obris je horizontalno skraćen, a riječ »OCKHAM« napisana je neposredno uz sigurnosnu rupu, s njezinih obiju strana. Ovo sam dizajnirao kao ikonu radi predstavljanja svojih online profila »ockraz«.
