In the two centuries which immediately preceded this new birth Europe had witnessed the renascence of classical learning, the refor- mation in religion, and the rise of the natural sciences, but philosophy, as we recognise it to-day, in its special problems, its principles, and its methods, began with Descartes. In the true sense he is its father. A period, therefore, of over a thousand years separates ancient and modern philosophy. Two opposite and conflicting views are held to-day with regard... to the philosophy of this middle period. Increasing knowledge has toned down sharp historical judgments 85 MEDIAEVAL CONTRIBUTIONS and blunted the incisiveness of verdicts. Nevertheless, there are many who still take the view that in the Middle Ages philosophy, in the only true meaning of the word, did not and could not exist. Throughout the whole period, according to this view, there is desolation. Philosophy could not exist by reason of the repressive legislation of religion exercising authority over the reason.
