Scholasticism was a medieval European philosophical and theological method that used logically precise, dialectical analysis, especially Aristotelian logic, to reconcile authoritative texts and extend systematic knowledge, most prominently in reconciling classical philosophy with Catholic Christian theology. Major figures include Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus and William of Ockham, with its high period in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries.

In Branch
Filed under philosophy of religion because scholasticism's defining project, reconciling Aristotelian philosophy with Christian theology, is the philosophical activity itself rather than a doctrine of the faith; Aquinas and Christian theology proper belong to the Divinity atlas.
