Definition

  • Scholasticism refers to an intellectual and cultural movement in the Western European Middle Ages characterized by an influx of new knowledge, by the emergence of new institutions of learning, and by new methods of study. This knowledge was transmitted mostly from the Islamic world and included material on many philosophical and scientific areas but not, in any significant way, on politics or political theory.
