Preferred term

Thomist, scholastic, and medieval political thought  

Definition

  • Between 1100 and 1400, the rudiments of a distinctively European approach to political theory, based on ancient Greco-Roman and Christian sources, and also the Arab and Jewish traditions, emerged in the writings of Latin authors. These texts framed the development of political ideas that remained influential well into the modern period of Western European history.
