- 9:00 AM7h 30mA New Look at the 12th Century Renaissance: Philosophy, Theology, HistoryDuring the long twelfth century, culminating roughly with the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), in the context of new political developments and rapid changes in society and the Church, the first universities were established and “a republic of letters” took shape, marked by a new, transnational approach to learning and research, later called scholasticism. Subsequent high points of European culture—such as the philosophy and theology of the thirteenth century and the Italian Renaissance and beyond—all had their roots in this less dramatic, and less remembered, twelfth century renaissance. This interdisciplinary conference will offer a fresh look at the philosophy, theology, and history of this pivotal moment in European history.
