Development of Christian theology
~800 to ~1300 BC
Inherits the classical tradition from the Islamic world
Medieval scholasticism - philosophy becomes religious in its orientation,
but also very technical, precise definitions about very abstract concepts
(remember Parmenides)
Ex: Thomas Aquinas' "transcendentals":
“being,” "thing", "one", "something", "good", and "true" are all "convertible,"
i.e. aspects of one eternal, ultimate truth (this is Parmenides on steroids)
Important names: Averroes, Ansel (1 janv. 800 – 1 janv. 1300)
