During the 1100s and 1200s "scholasticism" flourished, which sought to combine logic of the classical philosophers with medieval Christian theology.  The Scholastics were divided into two groups, the [[realists]] (preferring the works of Plato) and the [[nominalists]] (preferring Aristotle's teachings).  An early leader of this movement was Saint [[Anselm]] (1033-1109).
