Godfather philosophy
The
philosophy of the patriarch began around the 2nd century and ended around the 6th
century. At the beginning of the birth of Christianity, a group of more or less
philosophical followers borrowed Greek philosophy, especially the philosophy of
Neo-Platonism and Stoicism, to demonstrate and defend the faith of Christianity
theoretically. It formed the first historical form of Christian philosophy,
namely "Godfather Philosophy". The greatest representative of the
philosophy of the Godfather is Augustine.
Scholasticism
Medieval
scholasticism was a Christian philosophy developed in the court schools of
Charlemagne's empire, as well as in the abbeys and dioceses of Christianity.
These schools were centers for the study of theology and philosophy. Their
teachers and scholars were called Scholastics, and their philosophy was called
Scholasticism. While using Greek philosophy to serve theology, Scholasticism
inherited its problems, and thus formed two opposing philosophical schools,
namely, Realism and Nominalism, around the problem of the relationship between
the common and the different. Realism holds that the universal universal is the real reality, and the specific or
individual things are only phenomena. Nominalism holds that the individual
things are the real existence, and the universal is merely a concept or a
phrase, without the meaning of actual existence. Although scholasticism was
limited by Christian theology, their debate on the relationship between common
and different promoted the depth of philosophical thought to a certain extent.
Ontological proof of
the existence of God
The
Scholastic Anselm is famous for his ontological proof of the existence of God.
It seemed to him that the incomparable greatness could not exist in thought
alone, but that if it existed only in thought, it could be imagined to exist in
fact, and that it would be still greater; Or it may be
imagined that a great being, which exists in thought as well as in reality, is
greater than it. All of these are contradictory to the definition of
"unparalleled greatness. "So there can be no
doubt that the incomparable and great thing, namely God, exists in thought as
well as in reality. This ontological proof of existence inferred from concepts
was strongly criticized by Kant.
