An Introduction to Scholastic Philosophy

Focusing on the scholastic tradition, Maurice de Wulf critically assesses its nature, methods, and philosophical relationships within medieval thought. He contrasts scholasticism with ancient philosophy and science, exploring topics like metaphysics, theodicy, and moral philosophy. The decline of medieval scholasticism is analyzed, followed by a discussion of the modern revival, including neoscholasticism and neothomism. This work serves as both a corrective to previous histories and a thorough examination of the scholastic position, making it a valuable resource for understanding medieval philosophy.
