Produktbeschreibung

The Tension Between Humanists and Scholastics: Conflict and Dialogue by Benjamin Shaw offers a compelling exploration of one of the most transformative intellectual struggles in Western history. This meticulously researched book dives deep into the dynamic interplay between Renaissance humanists-champions of classical learning, textual criticism, and rhetorical clarity-and scholastic theologians, guardians of medieval philosophy, theological rigor, and doctrinal tradition.

Through vivid case studies and detailed analysis, Shaw reveals how this tension over epistemology, hermeneutics, language, and theology ignited fierce debates on the nature of knowledge, faith, and reason. Readers will uncover the spirited conflicts between iconic figures such as Erasmus and Thomas Aquinas's defenders, the reinterpretation of Church Fathers, and the reshaping of education and scriptural study.

More than a historical account, this volume illuminates how the clash and collaboration between humanism and scholasticism set the stage for the Reformation, Counter-Reformation, and the dawn of modern scholarship. It uncovers the rich dialogue beneath the conflict-a dialogue that continues to influence theological inquiry, hermeneutics, and the humanities today.

Ideal for scholars and readers passionate about intellectual history, theology, and Renaissance studies, The Tension Between Humanists and Scholastics is a definitive guide to understanding how conflict and conversation drove the evolution of Western thought.
