The book deals with an important and accurate stage in the history of philosophy, which is European philosophy in the Middle Ages. The writer started his book with a clear introduction in which the stages that European philosophy went through in the Middle Ages, which were known - at that time - as "Scholastic philosophy". The book was divided into sections and chapters that presented the features that constituted that radical stage in the history of philosophy. In the first chapter, he dealt with the pioneering and distinctive philosophical figures of that period, and in the second chapter, he touched on the era extending from the renaissance that Charlemagne sent in the last quarter of the eighth century to the end of the twelfth century, and the flourishing of the scientific movement that characterized this era. The book then moved on to talk about the schools' separation from episcopal authority, the revolution against abstract meanings, and the tendency to empirical reality.
