 §3. Johannes Scotus Erigena. XIV. The Beginnings of English Philosophy. Vol. 4. Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Erigena was the predecessor of scholasticism but not himself one of the schoolmen.
It exercised a strong influence upon Erigena himself and upon subsequent medieval thought; and this influence was powerfully reinforced long afterwards by the study of Plato and the Neoplatonists at the time of the revival of learning.
Erigena’s work opens with a division of the whole of reality into four classes—that which creates and is not created, that which is both created and creates, that which is created but does not create and that which neither creates nor is created.

Johannes Scotus Erigena, född c:a 810 på Irland, död c:a 880, var en irländsk filosof och teolog, verksam vid det karolingiska hovet.

 §4. The Attitude to Scholasticism of Duns Scotus and of Ockham. XIV. The Beginnings of English Philosophy. Vol. 4. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Scotus was not himself heretical in religious belief, nor did he assert an antagonism between faith and reason; but he was critical of all intellectual arguments in the domain of theology.
He denied the validity of natural theology—except in so far as he recognised that a certain vision of God may be reached by reason, although it needs to be reinforced by revelation.
At the hands of Ockham, who was a pupil of Duns Scotus, the separation between theology and philosophy, faith and reason, was made complete.

 A History of Western Philosophy 2.7
Scotus Erigena, although he was a thinker of far greater sophistication than his predecessors in the palace school, seems to hold to the same identity of faith and reason.
Erigena adverts to previous remarks of his own and to the nature of the theologian's task in stating that since it seems clear that assertions about God are based only on what we can know of him in his effects, no statement about God can be expressive of what God is like in himself.
Erigena attaches these attributes to the various Persons of the Trinity, but his point, once more, is the broad one that none of our names can be applied to God in such a way as to be expressive of what he is. His source here is Denis the Areopagite.

 Johannes Scotus Eriugena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
815-877) (also Johannes Scotus Erigena, Johannes Scottus Eriugena, John the Scot), was an Irish theologian, Neoplatonist philosopher, and poet.
He is known for having translated and made commentaries upon the work of Pseudo-Dionysius.
The story that in 882 he was invited to Oxford by Alfred the Great, that he labored there for many years, became abbot at Malmesbury, and was stabbed to death by his pupils with their styli, is apparently without any satisfactory foundation, and doubtless refers to some other Johannes.

 Philosophers : Johannes Scotus Erigena
Erigena regarded man as a microcosm of the wider universe, because he has senses and reason to determine causes and mechanisms.
In this sense Erigena is typical of the comparative freedom of speculation and freshness of vision and expression enjoyed by the very early Churchmen.
The logical posture of Erigena was condemned in his day for its pantheistic tendencies and thus to accessing God through direct revelatory experience, rather than through the oppressive dogmas of Church orthodoxy.

Scotus Erigena takes up the doctrine of John of Damascus concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit and applies it to the relation of the Son to the Father: “As the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son, so is the Son born of the Father through the Holy Spirit.”
Scotus Erigena was considered a heretic or a madman while he lived, and this fact joined to the other that his views were far in advance of his age, caused his influence to be at first much less than might have been expected.
The far-fetched explanations of Erigena either from Ayr, a city on the west coast of Scotland, or Ergene in Hereford, a shire in England on the south Welsh border, and gena, may be dismissed without discussion.

 The Life and Times of Johannes Scottus Erigena
It is not infrequently supposed that after the walls of Rome came crumbling down in 410 A.D. there existed in human history a time of dirt, ignorance, and dishevelment the likes of which has not been seen before or since.
Erigena's great work, The Division of Nature, which was written much later, about 865-870 A.D., is a masterful synthesis of his combined Greek and Latin heritage.
Too far into the realm of philosophy for a theological age, his writing was not appreciated by his contemporaries, and understood even less by his immediate successors.

The 9th-century Platonist Johannes Scotus Erigena is sometimes regarded as an early scholastic.
But scholasticism began at the end of the 11th century, when Roscellinus, a supporter of nominalism, and Anselm, a supporter of realism, disputed the nature of universals.
The most important are, in the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas, whose works became classical texts of Catholic doctrine, and the Franciscan Duns Scotus; and in the 14th century William of Occam, who was the last major scholastic philosopher.

 Origins of Scientific Materialism
The Platonic view of things sometimes overcame the Christian in the minds of the early scholastics, as was the case with Johannes Scotus Erigena, the great pantheist of the ninth century.
Erigena's great work, The Division of Nature, was condemned as full of "blasphemies" toward the end of the twelfth century, when it was discovered in the hands of a heretical sect in the South of France.
There is evidence that it was known to the Albigenses and influenced the pantheistic brotherhoods of the Middle Ages -- the Brothers and Sisters of the Free Spirit, and other important forerunners of the Reformation.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Scotus Eriugena
The form Ierugena is evidently an attempt to connect the first part of the name with the Greek word hieros, and means "a native of the Island of Saints"; the combination Joannes Scotus Erigena cannot be traced beyond the sixteenth century.
All the evidence points that way, and leads us to conclude that when his contemporaries tauntingly referred to his having come to France from Ireland they meant not only that he was educated in the Isle of Saints but also that Ireland was his birthplace.
Whatever doubt there may have been about the meaning of Scotus, there can be none as to the signification of the surname Eriugena.

In the former he took the side of Rabanus Maurus and Ratramnus against the transubstantiation theory of Paschasius Radbertus; in the latter he opposed Johannes Scotus Erigena, without, however, going entirely over to the side of Gottschalk.
He calls attention to Erigena’s rationalistic treatment of the Scriptures and the Fathers; rejects the definition of evil as negation; insists that faith in Christ and an inner revelation are necessary to a right understanding of the Scriptures.
It is noticeable that while he censures Erigena for his abuse of secular science, he claims that it has its proper use.
