Summary/Abstract: The text above represents a part of a greater unpublished manuscript treating on philosophy in the European Middle Ages, signed by Professor Dumitru Isac. The manuscript’s parts are concentrated on the major traditional periods of medieval philosophy: the premises (beginning with the Vth century BC); the patristics (up to IXth century); the scholastics (from the IXth up to XIVth century). Through the narration, the author insists on developing a thorough analysis of the conflictual relationship between arbitrarily imposed religious dogmas and free thinking, during the all of the Middle Ages. Also, he points out the ideas of those thinkers who were striving themselves to construe properly philosophical ideas at the edge of religious dogmas, yielding to philosophy despite the religion’s authority.
