A. adj.

1. Of or relating to the theological and philosophical teaching of medieval academic institutions or the ‘schools’ (school n.¹ 12a), based upon the authority of the Bible and Christian Fathers and the logic and philosophy of Aristotle and his commentators; employing or exhibiting the methods of learning used in medieval academic institutions, characterized by the use of dialectical reasoning, subtle argument, and disputation; = scholastic adj. 1. Scholastical doctrines and methods dominated European philosophy from the 11th to the 15th cent., esp. during the 13th and early 14th cent., when the leading scholastic philosophers included Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham. By the 15th cent., humanists and reformers had begun to criticize the teaching of the medieval philosophers, and the term scholastical was often used with depreciative connotations by Renaissance humanists, who ridiculed the doctrines and methods of the medieval ‘schools’ for a perceived dependence upon quibbling argument and needless distinctions. In early use, therefore, there is some overlap between this sense and the depreciative use at sense A. 2.In quot. ?a1475 used in a translation of the post-classical Latin title of Petrus Comestor's Historia Scholastica (12th cent.), a narrative of biblical history.
