In this episode, we explore the scholastic method of the 13th and 14th centuries as it developed from the rediscovery of Aristotle's complete works on logic, known as the Organon. Scholasticism, at its height, emphasized logic, dialectic reasoning, and the arts of argumentation and persuasion. It was applied to philosophy, theology, natural philosophy (science), law, and other disciplines. It found a home in the emerging universities of Europe and altered how learning took place. In the end, we survey the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas. This compilation of the breadth of Christian doctrine is considered one of the great scholastic works of the Middle Ages. It represents the complete integration of Aristotelian thought and Christianity.
