| - | '''Scholasticism''' is derived from the [[Latin]] word ''scholasticus'' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: ''σχολαστικός''), which means "that [which] belongs to the school", and was a method of learning taught by the [[academics]] (or ''school people'') of medieval [[university|universities]] circa 1100–1500. Scholasticism originally started to reconcile the [[philosophy]] of the ancient classical philosophers with medieval Christian theology. Scholasticism is not a philosophy or theology in itself but a tool and method for learning which places emphasis on [[dialectical reasoning]]. The primary purpose of scholasticism is to find the answer to a question or to resolve a contradiction.

Scotism is the name given to the philosophical and theological system or school named after Blessed John Duns Scotus. The word comes from the name of its originator, whose Opus Oxoniense was one of the most important documents in medieval philosophy and Roman Catholic theology, defining what would later be declared the Dogma of the Immaculate conception by Pope Pius IX in his constitution Ineffabilis Deus on 8 December 1854.
