 SCHOLASTICISM - LoveToKnow Article on SCHOLASTICISM
Scholasticism in the widest sense thus extends from the 9th to the end of the i4th or the beginning of the 15th century from Erigena to Occam and his followers.
Scholasticism opens with a discussion of certain points in the Aristotelian logic; it speedily begins to apply its logical distinctions to the doctrines of the church; and when it attains its full stature in S~ Thomas it has, with the exception of certain mysteries, rationalized or Aristotelianized the whole churchly system.

 Tibetan Monasticism
In Tibetan scholasticism, when such limits are transgressed, authorities (secular or monastic) step in to restore what they perceive to be the integrity of the tradition, thus illustrating the reality and limits of this tradition's freedom of inquiry.
The role of debate in the curriculum, particularly in relation to the study of logic, epistemology, and Madhyamaka, is then considered; and the use of debate by Tibetan scholastics emphasizes different approaches in the tradition and the function of debate as a mode of inquiry.

 Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger takes a position against Scholasticism, the theology that comes from St. Thomas Aquinas @ ...
In an April 1994 interview with the Italian magazine 30 Giorni, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger declared that the unbalance, uncertainty, and lack of logic of post-conciliar theology constitute a necessary step for rejecting the Scholastic Theology from the first half of the 20th century.
Ratzinger gives his unequivocal support to that rejection of Scholasticism.
He considered that Scholasticism (thesis) had to generate its own opposition (antithesis) in order to generate a new situation (synthesis), in which the new theology would recover the lacking equilibrium and logic.

Then, the idea of adopting Aristotelian logic becomes, unlike the obedience asked by Neoplatonism, an attempt to systematically use reason to ascertain truth.
