Summary Philosophy? In the Middle Ages? Yes. Both the Christian Middle Ages - primarily - as well as the Arabic and Jewish absorbed (to varying degrees, ways, and paths depending on cultural space and historical time) the philosophical thought of classical, Hellenistic, Greco-Roman, and late Antiquity, as well as each other's thought. They grappled with older problems and advanced philosophical thought, especially in the fields of logic, epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of religion, and metaphysics. This advancement was greatly contributed to by the creation of one of the most innovative institutions ever to appear, the medieval institution of the university. As for the fact that medieval thinkers intertwined their philosophical thought with theological thought, according to the author, this means that, respecting the historical context within which philosophy developed during the Middle Ages, we must both accurately diagnose the way these two sides of their thought co-developed and focus on the philosophical side and evaluate it as such, as we do with the philosophical thought of any other historical period.
