In his essay "Medieval Thought" (1991), French historian of philosophy and professor emeritus at the Collège de France, Alain de Libera (b. 1948), offers an atypical conception of the genesis of European culture. Examining various aspects of medieval life and drawing on a wide range of written sources, the scholar explores the preconditions for the emergence of the "intellectual" at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries—a phenomenon that influenced the entire subsequent development of Western history. Driven by a desire to "articulate the unarticulated," the scholar deconstructs common stereotypes about the "Dark Ages" and reveals the depths of concepts such as Averroism, Thomism, and mysticism. Libera sees the origins of medieval philosophical thought in the assimilation of Greco-Arabic heritage, Aristotle's influence on astrology, Meister Eckhart's theory of humility, and Dante's stargazing.
