Section 3
EXPLAIN HOW LEARNING HAD BEEN KEPT ALIVE DURING “THE DARK AGES” Ignorance and suspicion Church involvement Tried to maintain knowledge, but not
learn anything new
LIST AND DESCRIBE THE FACTORS THAT BROUGHT A REVIVAL OF LEARNING IN EUROPE Trivium: grammar (Latin), rhetoric
(effective speaking), and logic Quadrivium: arithmetic, geometry,
astronomy, and music
Brought by 3 factors:1.) Political and economic conditions….2.) Europe’s contact with Byzantine and
Arab civilizations…3.) Towns and government changing…
EXPLAIN HOW UNIVERSITIES CAME INTO BEING Replaced Monastery and cathedral
schools Cared about who the teacher was Scholars formed guilds “Universitas” First two were at Bologna and Paris
DESCRIBE THE GOAL OF SCHOLASTICISM (FIRST PARAGRAPH) AND THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS APPROACH, AND HOW IT WOULD LEAD TO THE REFORMATION
Renewed interest in theology and philosophy
Relied on faith and reason…harmonizing teachings of church (faith) and Greek philosophers (reason)
Wanted to find ways to support the church’s teachings, not seek new truth
They ended up finding many contradictions in the church’s teachings….not from Scripture but from decrees of the Pope
CONTRAST AND CRITIQUE THE APPROACHES THAT ANSELM, ABELARD, AND AQUINAS TOOK
Anselm: Archbishop of CanterburyPosition: “I believe so that I may
understand.” Faith is essential to proper understanding. Nevertheless, he did not reject reason. He is
best remembered for his use of logical arguments to support two major doctrine of the Christian faith1: The existence of God2: the concept of atonement
Agreement: Without faith, we cannot know anything. Faith in God of Christianity makes sense of reality
Criticism: None
Abelard:Position: Asked critical questions…for
wisdom. “By doubting, we arrive at inquiry, and through inquiry we perceive the truth.”….wanted students to seek truth through critical reasoning.
Agreement: Questioning can make our thoughts more accurate
Criticism: If we question everything, we cannot know anything
Aquinas: “prince of the Schoolmen”Position: Certain truths can be perceived by
reason and others by faith alone. However, both faith and reason are gifts of God so there is no contradiction between them. In his Summa Theologica, he attempted to harmonize the teachings of the church with the logic and philosophy of Aristotle
Agreement: It is true faith and reason are both gifts of God and they do not contradict.
Criticism: 1: There is a danger with trying to harmonize
scripture with reason …..do you put reason above Scripture?
Some critics claim that Aquinas did not realize that man’s reason is also fallen. We have sinful hearts
Overestimating the power of reason underestimates the complexity of reality.
DESCRIBE THE OBSTACLES PREVENTING SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS IN THE MIDDLE AGES
1.) Science was a secondary source of knowledge, which at best could only confirm truths that theology and philosophy had already established.
2.) Magic and superstition clouded medieval science
3.) What little scientific knowledge that did exist had been handed down from ancient sources. People did not question, thus misconceptions and falsehoods continued.
LIST THE TWO WAYS IN WHICH PROGRESS WAS BEING MADE IN SCIENCE 1.) knowledge increased as Greek and
Muslim works began to circulate 2.) Thinkers began to critically
reexamine inherited scientific ideas.

EMERGENCE OF NATIONAL STATES
Section 4
EXPLAIN WHAT FORMED THE BASIS OF THE EARLY NATION STATE Nation-states emerged in the late middle Ages as
people in certain regions became more fully aware of their common traditions, languages, and religion. This awareness was the foundation of national feeling.
Accompanying the growth of nation-states was the rise of national monarchies. The monarchy served as the symbol of national pride.
The independent king ruling a group of people having common interests formed the basis of the early nation-states.
Royal power steadily increased in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries while Feudalism gradually declined.
As differences among the various people of Europe became more distinct and as national feeling mounted, boundaries between nation-states began to solidify.
LIST THE CAUSES OF THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR The English and French confronted one
another on the matters of English holdings in France.

EXPLAIN HOW THE END OF THE 100 YRS. WAR INCREASED THE CENTRALIZATION OF POWER IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE No longer did the English kings
concentrate their efforts on holding their French possessions. Instead they began to build a strong nation-state at home.
The rivalry over the English presence in France had stirred French nationalism. This nationalism and their eventual victory over the English bolstered the cause of the French kings as they continued to increase their royal powers.
IDENTIFY THE WAR OF THE ROSE AND EXPLAIN THE TUDORS FAMILY ESTABLISHED THEIR POWER AFTER THE WAR After a century of fighting on French soil, the
English troops returned home only to become involved in civil war: two rival families, the houses of York and Lancaster, fought for the English throne. Eventually, a distant relative of the Lancastrian kings won and established the Tudor dynasty.
During the sixteenth century, the Tudors firmly established the power of the English monarchy and built the English nation into a major European power.
