In the first place, scholasticism wore itself out. With Aquinas, it was a fresh and daring effort to demonstrate fundamental truths. In the later Middle Ages it became an end in itself, disputation for the sake of disputation. [It became] the artificial, involved and in-grown methods of later scholasticism. The debilitating process began with Duns Scotus. While his acute exposure of scholastic errors was helpful, his tortuous reasoning initiated a revulsion against scholasticism. Erasmus expressed this attitude when he said that reading Duns only made him angry and annoyed, while Cicero soothed his mind. As scholasticism degenerated, it lost Duns’s astuteness and became even more involved and repulsive, terminating in arid mental gymnastics. The tough-minded turned to the nominalism of Ockham or the naturalism and experimentalism of Roger Bacon. The tender-minded gravitated toward mysticism, which became more popular as the Middle Ages drifted into modern times.
–From Harry Elmer Barnes, An Intellectual and Cultural History of the Western World, vol. 1, From earliest times through the Middle Ages (1937, 1965).
