Their intention was to produce a once-and-for-all body of knowledge that would be as perfect as humanity’s fallen state permits, and which would provide a view of God, nature, and human conduct, promoting order in this world and blessedness in the next. \u003ci\u003eScholastic Humanism and the Unification of Europe\u003c\/i\u003e reconsiders this enterprise, and its long-term effects on European history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first of the three volumes examines the origins of the intellectual enterprise from around 1060 AD. This second volume focuses on the period during which scholars developed the fully-fledged method of absorbing, elaborating, Christianizing and systematizing the whole intellectual deposit of the Greco-Roman past to produce a complete body of doctrine about both the natural and supernatural worlds which would be not only rationally unassailable and doctrinally coherent, but also capable of being given practical application in organizing and governing the whole of western Christendom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book discusses the contributions of individual masters involved in the intellectual project, tracing the progress of the enterprise from its scholastic origins under Anselm of Laon, to the main masters in the schools of Paris during the 1090s to c. 1160, including men such as Peter Lombard, Peter Abelard, John of Salisbury and the two Peters of Blois. These scholars created a crucial bond between the schools and organized life of European society. The men educated in the great schools during this time brought their scholastic learning to governmental aims and activities, extending the influence of the schools and their intellectual project to the wider world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eElegantly written, enlivened with wit and vivid anecdote, \u003ci\u003eScholastic Humanism and the Unification of Europe\u003c\/i\u003e will be a work of seminal importance for the understanding of the civilization of the Middle Ages, and of the evolution of modern European societies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989991702757,"sku":"NP9780631191124","price":111.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631191124.jpg?v=1761786134","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/scholastic-humanism-and-the-unification-of-europe-volume-ii-isbn-9780631191124","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
