Between the collapse of the ancient world and the Age of Enlightenment, Western European culture and society were shaped by two fundamental pillars: Aristotle and religion. In this volume we will explore the foundations of medieval philosophy, the life and ideas of great Christian thinkers such as Augustine of Hippo, Saint Anselm of Canterbury, William of Ockham and Saint Thomas Aquinas, whose profound reflections on the nature of God and the soul Humanity laid the foundations of Christian theology and rescued Aristotelian thought. Not only did Christian dogma serve as an inspiration for philosophical thought during the Middle Ages, we will also discover great Muslim thinkers such as Avicenna and Averroes or the Jewish Maimonides, and how their ideas were intertwined, creating a rich intercultural dialogue. An essential book to understand the conflict between faith and reason, the epicenter of all the reflections of the thinkers who occupy these pages, led by expert historians and philosophers who bring readers closer to the medieval philosophical legacy in a rigorous and entertaining way.
