During the Middle Ages (A.D. c. 450-c. 1500) in the Western world (non-Asian countries), the main philosophy was Scholasticism. Through this method Christian thinkers tried to reconcile their Christian faith with ancient Greek philosophies and worldly wisdom. Scholasticists attempted to find similarities among documents such as the Bible (Christian holy book) and philosophical works, using logical arguments to make their points.
The Scholastic movement was anticipated by Saint Augustine (A.D. 354-430), who lived during the time when Christianity was overtaking paganism (pre-Christian religions that honored many gods). Augustine, a Roman Catholic priest, sought to combine Christian faith and reason. He believed that if people are faithful, they will be rewarded with understanding, or wisdom. |
