Scholasticism is a product of Plato being lost in the medieval west whereas Aristotle wasn't. Is there a reason Platonism tends to be in vogue during the more excessive periods of Church history (late antiquity, Renaissance resurgence) whereas Scholasticism seems to be more in vogue during more austere periods (Middle Ages, 20th-century apologetics)?

I associate Platonism/Neoplatonism with a sense of anti-Scholastic Greco-Roman decadence even if the actual doctrine of Platonism is ascetic and proto-authoritarian.
