scholasticism

Philosophy
  • The philosophy taught in the church schools and theological training-grounds in the medieval period. Scholasticism was the dominant philosophical approach in Europe from perhaps the 11th until the 16th century, or the time of Abelard to that of Suárez. It combined religious doctrine, study of the Church fathers, and philosophical and logical work based particularly on Aristotle and his commentators, and to some extent on themes from Plato. Prominent scholastics included Aquinas, Buridan, Duns Scotus, and Ockham.


World History
  • The educational tradition of the medieval ‘schools’ (universities), which flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was a method of philosophical and theological enquiry, which aimed at a better understanding of Christian doctrine by a process of definition and systematic argument.

    The writings of Aristotle (translated from Greek into Latin by Boethius) and of St Augustine of Hippo played a crucial part in the development of scholastic thought. Scholastics did not always agree on points of theology; Aquinas and Duns Scotus argued from different standpoints. Scholasticism declined in the later Middle Ages; in the 14th century the writings of William of Ockham challenged the scholastic position by stressing the opposition between faith and reason.
