Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medieval scholasticism was a method of critical thought which dominated teaching by the academics ("scholastics", or "schoolmen") of medieval universities in Europe from about 1100 to 1700. It originated within the Christian monastic schools that were the basis of the earliest European universities. Scholasticism aimed to reconcile Christian theology with classical philosophy, particularly that of Aristotle but also of Plato and others. It sought to use reason to understand and interpret the revelations of scripture, demonstrating how faith and reason could coexist and support each other.
