Focusing on the Carolingian Renaissance, this study explores the emergence of philosophical thought in the late eighth century, highlighting how theologians began to engage with logical inquiry. Key themes such as essence, the Aristotelian Categories, and the problem of Universals are examined through the works of significant figures like Alcuin and John Scottus Eriugena. The author utilizes a fresh analysis of manuscript sources and provides critical editions of previously unpublished early medieval philosophical texts, shedding light on the intellectual environment of the time.
