Neo-scholasticism

Neo-scholasticism is a 19th and early 20th-century revival of medieval Scholastic philosophy, especially the ideas of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas. It aims to re-establish a systematic, rational approach to understanding faith, reason, and ethics within the Catholic Church. Neo-scholastics use logical analysis and classical philosophy to clarify doctrinal teachings, blending faith with reason. This movement was a response to modern philosophical challenges and sought to reaffirm traditional Catholic doctrine through careful, structured argumentation aligned with timeless philosophical principles.
