the Middle Ages I have felt for a long time excelled in certain areas. The ones that I most admire are the areas of philosophy. For some odd reason philosophy fell apart after the middle ages except for a few great exceptions like Kant and Hegel. Most of twentieth century philosophy is in the words of John Searle "obviously false".

The problem with the Mideval period in general is the axioms. But the logic is always razor sharp. But after the middle ages the logic is almost alwats circular. They always assume what they are trying to prove--especially Hume.
