scholasticism
scholasticism 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.
