Scholastic theology followed their
predecessors, the
early "Christian" apologists who were succeeded by the
Patristic theologians to
advanced many of the doctrines that these predecessors
cultivated during their era. The Scholastic theologians
advanced the "Logos" doctrine from its earliest form to its
advanced form, namely that the two distinct sciences, theology
and philosophy, agree. That they are distinct in that
philosophy relies on reason alone and that theology uses the
truths derived from revelation and that they agree, must agree
in that God is the author of all truth, and it is impossible to
think that God would "teach" anything in the natural order that
would contradict what he "teaches" in the supernatural order.
The Patristic era held the same principles, so to speak, but
held them in flux, in solution, i.e., not in crystallized form
or expression.
Various Scholastics
intermittently tried to elevate philosophy with theology as
theophany or in theosophy; or at time tried to bring theology
down to the level of philosophy and define and identify them
both through a Rationalistic system. Scholastics were also
distinguished from other theologies in that they rigorously
utilized the dialectical method to develop their ideas, albeit
in quite barbaric form. They were different from the
rationalists in that they held the conviction that reason is to
be used in the elucidation of divine truth and in defense of the
teachings of Faith.
When the view that "what is
true in theology may be false in philosophy" became prominent
(promulgated by the mystics),
Scholasticism ceased to exist. It was Descartes that lead
the way in dissolving Scholastic Theology and back into
Mysticism, ending the Scholastic era. Nonetheless, all
these theology models were heavily influenced by either
Platonism or Aristoteleanism or both and in some cases the
complete adoption of these Greek philosophies.
Some of the main beliefs, secular contributions and
characteristics of Scholasticism are as follows:
1. Scholastics adopted all the
details of the Aristotelean system relative to ethics, nature,
logic and knowledge, i.e., Moderate Realism and Moderate
Intellectualism.
2. Scholasticism avoids Innatism,
Sensism and took a strong stand against Subjectivism.
3. Scholasticism's metaphysics
added to the Aristotelean system relative to discussion on the
nature of personality.
4. Scholasticism laid a new
foundation for the study of political organizations utilizing
Aristotle's scientific definition of the origin and purpose of
civil society.
5. Improved the precision in the
modern languages of Western Europe as a result of their hallmark
barbaric use of dialectic disquisitions.
