Key Concepts
By the 1100s, education moved from monasteries to cathedral schools in cities, which evolved into the first Universities (like Bologna, Paris, and Oxford). A new intellectual movement called Scholasticism emerged, which tried to reconcile Christian faith with human reason.
The greatest scholastic thinker was Thomas Aquinas . He studied the rediscovered logic of the Greek philosopher Aristotle . Aquinas argued that faith and reason were gifts from God and could not contradict each other. He developed the concept of Natural Law , the idea that universal moral truths exist in nature and can be discovered by reason, distinct from church law or royal decrees.
