What is Scholasticism—and is it the high point of Christian philosophy, or does it contain a fatal flaw?In this first video of my new series on Scholasticism, I explore one of the most influential intellectual movements in Christian history. We’ll look at where scholasticism came from, what it aimed to accomplish, and why it continues to shape theology and philosophy today.But this isn’t just a history lesson.I also examine a deeper issue at the heart of the tradition—seen especially in Aquinas—concerning how we know God.
