| Sumario: | This definitive study of the development of philosophy in the post-classical era, at a time when scholars had restricted access to the heritage of Plato and Aristotle explores the foundation of a tradition of independent thought that played a vital and underrated part in shaping the culture of Christendom. J.M. begins by summarizing the influence of the Classical philosophers, transmitted in part by Boethius and St. Augustine, and goes on to examine in detail the period dominated by JOhn Scottus Eriugena, St. Anselm, Abelard and the rise of the Schools.
