Summary/Abstract: In this meditation, the question is: How could the historian of mediaeval philosophy, in his studies, think the multicolouredness, the polyphony and the emotional tension of the mediaeval world perception and the mediaeval behavioural stereotypes? How could he be both (simultaneously and not now the one, now the other!) a philosopher and a historian of mentalities? This question or requirement is not purely optional. It expresses necessity rather than desirability. For the diversity of life in the Middle Ages is not just a factual state but also a postulate of world perception and even a consciously thought (and defended) norm of human existence. The multiformity of living is the unfailing correlate of the unity of faith and this relation - as Anselm of Havelberg suggests in the 13th century (De una forma credendi et multiformitate vivendi) - constitutes the fundament of the natural order of the creation.
