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.).

Despite its decline, numerous scholastic principles remained integral to the evolving concepts of the Renaissance, particularly within Christian Humanism.
