11th-century philosophy

Eleventh-century philosophy was marked by the rise of Scholasticism, a method combining Christian theology with the intellectual rigor of ancient philosophy, especially Aristotle. Thinkers aimed to reconcile faith with reason, seeking logical clarity and evidence to support religious beliefs. Notable figures like Anselm of Canterbury explored questions about God, existence, and morality, laying groundwork for future philosophical and theological discussions. This period emphasized the importance of systematic debate, critical thinking, and the integration of different knowledge streams, shaping medieval intellectual tradition and influencing subsequent Western philosophy.
