Breakup of the thomistic synthesis
● 1
"*Duns Scotus (was a Scottish Catholic priest and Franciscan friar, university
professor, philosopher, and theologian)_Held that human reason cannot prove
that God is omnipotent._Thomistic ralationship of reason and revelation was

proved._Snapped the link of reason and faith that Aristotle and scholastics had
forged.

William of ockham
● .(c1285_1349)William of Ockham espoused fideism, stating that
"only faith gives us access to theological truths. The ways of God
are not open to reason, for God has freely chosen to create a world
and establish a way of salvation within it apart from any necessary
laws that human logic or rationality can uncover." He believed that
science was a matter of discovery and saw God as the only
ontological necessity. His importance is as a theologian with a
strongly developed interest in logical method, and whose approach
was critical rather than system building.Theologically, Ockham is a
fideist, maintaining that belief in God is a matter of faith rather than
knowledge. Against the mainstream, he insists that theology is not a
science and rejects all the alleged proofs of the existence of God.
Ockham's ethics is a divine command theory.

- *Characteristic medieval outlook very different from the modern.


.

- People in the Middle Ages were just as much individuals with their own ideas as
people are now. In Europe, the Roman Catholic church was extremely powerful, and
most people paid at least lip service to its tenets, whereas in contemporary Europe,
active churchgoers are a small minority of the population. Perhaps connected with
the predominance of Christianity with its origin story of the expulsion from the garden
of Eden, social thought in the Middle Ages tended to assume a myth of human
decline, rather than the overarching myth of human progress found in 20th-century
western culture.
..
- *Modern view sees nature and human intellect as self-
. sufficient.*
- They postulated the uniformity of nature, reject hierarchy, Break the rigid
tripartite division of medieval society, Reject the personal and customary
character of feudal law, and find a law more objective. They articulated a
new outlook on the infinite universe that challenged the medieval idea
that human beings are unique children of God. –
Modern outlook developed gradually from the Renaissance
to the eighteenth century.*
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected
European intellectual life in the early modern period. Beginning in Italy, and
spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in
art, architecture, philosophy, literature, music, science, technology, politics,
religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry .
