Peter Lang AG The History Of Medieval Philosophy : Selected Figures Of Scholastic Tradition I

Calling an epoch Middle Age already involves some sort of judgment.But Middle Ages represent a historic period, in which the identity was established, which was denied by the renaissance, modern world and which however is now being discovered again in its sense and beauty.It is a period in which a co-existence between faith and intellect, between ecclesiastical and profane culture was possible.It was a varied living space in which philosophy, mystique and practice could exist side by side.It is a world which is lost today and which we can get a hold of again only by intellectual appropriation.
