Scholasticism, rooted in the Latin term scholasticus meaning "pertaining to the school," was an intellectual approach utilized in various European universities from the Middle Ages (1100-1500 A.C.). This methodology was prevalent until the onset of the Renaissance around 1600, which took precedence in European education. Despite its decline, numerous scholastic principles remained integral to the evolving concepts of the Renaissance, particularly within Christian Humanism.
Some concepts of Scholasticism that evolved within Christian Humanism included:
- Analyzing theology and Christian beliefs through a more philosophical lens.
- Incorporating insights from Roman and Greek thinkers like Plato.
- Discovering more logical and compelling arguments that addressed various questions concerning life and humanity.
