"In Understanding Scholastic Thought with Foucault, Philipp W. Rosemann provides a new introduction to Scholastic thought written from a contemporary and, notably, Foucauldian perspective. In taking inspiration from the methodology of historical research developed by Foucault, the book places the intellectual achievements of the thirteenth century, especially of Thomas Aquinas, in a larger cultural and institutional framework. Rosemann's analysis sees the Scholastic tradition as the process of the gradual reinscription of the Greek intellectual heritage into the center of Christian culture."--BOOK JACKET.
