Scholasticism

1. Scholastic Method -
From reading the material and my understanding scholasticism was an academic method of the medieval philosophers that sought to reach agreement of all authoritative christian doctrine material. The scholastics would first find all points of contradiction in the various texts and then discuss how seemingly contradictory words would actually be in agreement of each other in works called sentiente?. When aristotelean works were put under scrutiny one notable scholastic Thomas Aquinas provided works that showed how Aristotle and his philosophical views did not contradict christian doctrine but was actually in agreement with it as well. Or he showed how christine doctrine can coincide Aristotlean philosophy.
2. Sententiae
This would be their "manual" or "notebook" or "work" where the scholastics would write down quotations from authorititative sources in order to have an easy accesible go - to to see where all the points of contention lie.

The aim of the scholastic method was to show that all parts of christianity was universal whole and true. That there were no points of contradiction and that all stated statements of the religion were in agreement with each other.

Philology is the study of human language and mechanics. The scholastics used it to delve into the meanings and nuances of seemingly contradicting words to find agreement. They would either argue for alternative meanings ambiguousness?

Logical analysis was used to show that logically christine doctrine held no contradictions.

Aquinas believed that the relation reason should have with faith is that reason, true reason would bring someone into faith. And that faith and reason, while faith is justified by itself, faith with reason is all the more greater.

Realism is the philosophical view that there existed entities for characteristics of things in reality such as red or blue or cocky or cool. Realist believed there existed beings of Redness, Bluenessm, Cockiness, and coolness apart from the actual source.

Nominalism is the philosophical view that physical characteristics, and beingness of things did not actually exist. The only that that was real is the thing which you actually looked at. There was only red, and if you saw red in another place it was only the similarity, There was no red being.
