Byzantine Philosophy refers to the philosophical thought that developed in the Byzantine Empire, which lasted from the 4th to the 15th century. It was heavily influenced by Greek philosophy, particularly the works of Plato and Aristotle, and sought to integrate these ideas with Christian theology. Philosophers in this period, such as John of Damascus and Michael Psellus, focused on issues like the nature of God, the soul, and ethics. They aimed to reconcile faith and reason, contributing to the development of scholasticism and influencing later Western thought during the Renaissance.
