• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the intellectual evolution of medieval scholasticism, tracing its development from its early roots in the 12th century to its profound influence on philosophy, theology, and the broader intellectual landscape of Europe. Beginning with the works of early thinkers such as Anselm of Canterbury and Peter Abelard, the text examines how the scholastic methodbased on dialectical reasoning, systematic theology, and the synthesis of faith and reasonemerged as a dominant force in medieval thought. The study delves into the significant contributions of key figures like Thomas Aquinas, who integrated Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine, and analyzes the key theological controversies that defined scholasticism, including the nature of God, the atonement, grace, and free will. Furthermore, the book discusses the influence of Islamic and Jewish philosophers, such as Avicenna and Maimonides, who helped transmit and reinterpret classical Greek philosophy, particularly Aristotle, thereby enriching Christian scholasticism.
