Let's get some things out of the way especially conserning some revisionism concerning authors such as >>6365667

Scholasticism IS NOT Aristotelianism.

Augustine IS NOT Plato

William of Ockam DID NOT invent universals or nominalism.

Yet the Christian who has long had profound ignorance over philosophical matters wonders why a philosopher would call the middle-ages a stump in the history of thought.

The reason why they were the dark ages was because the Classical Age i.e. the idea that we can judge the world around us through REASON and not faith, and to evaluate it with reagards to the human standarts of measure, disappeared and died. The Christian theology unstead perpetuated a vicious cycle of irrational philosophical specultism that would take up untill Kant's Critique of Pure Reason to be done away with.

To cut a long story short:


Greek Thought ≠ Christian Theology
