Is anybody here capable of defining medieval scholasticism in

I am under the impression that scholastic is a blanket term, a vague way to speak about many different ideas and people. A bit like courtly love, or chivalry. Or feudalism.

I think it is today, but supposedly back then it meant something different, a rigid and intransigent form of learning that inevitably referred back to the Orthodox church of the time. It's all very vague.

It's Catholic shitposting basically.

The medieval approach was basically an apprenticeship that prepared you to do a specific job. The renaissance style wanted to focus on creating a better, more moral, more wordly man.

That's how I understand it anyways

I see. So for example if somebody decided that their son was to be a tailor, he was immediately placed within that role and socially obligated to carry it out whereupon his own children would become tailors, whereas those of the Renaissance had more freedom of choice as to their fate?

Most medieval era learning could only have been acquired in a religious context, Rennaisance learning was acquired in a secular context, often with heavy themes of paganism such as the imagery of Zeus and Venus and Augustus and other such pre-Christian figures
