Despite the heretical view of Eriugena’s writing by subsequent Christian philosophers, the Early Middle Ages made great strides in the area of logic. In fact, Spade (2016) notes that one may regard the Early Middle Age as being: one of the three great, original periods in the history of logic [and] the peculiarly medieval contributions to logic were developed and cultivated to a very high degree. It was no longer a matter of interpreting Aristotle, or commenting on the works of the “Old Logic” or the “New Logic”; wholly new genres of logical writing sprang up, and entirely new logical and semantic notions were developed.

Thus, Medieval philosophy, and the beliefs of Eriugena, certainly appear to have launched the evolution of philosophy …show more content…
Prior to the Early Middle Ages, a number of large stone buildings were erected, but with the fall of Rome, fewer large stone buildings were constructed (Birch, et al., 2012). It seems that during the Early Middle Ages, most buildings performed the function of shelter and there was no need to build anything quite as majestic as the era before. But, with the rise of the Carolingian Empire, the basilica form of architecture was revived and “building techniques, architectural styles became more complex, frequently featuring arches, lofty roofs, and domes. [C]hurch spires became taller, and their shapes more graceful” (p. …show more content…
In fact, advancement only came later through the spread of the Ottoman empire across Europe (Bauer, 2007). With trade contact between Arabian countries and China, each country influenced the development of technology of the other. The Chinese understood vaccination, navigation using a magnetic compass, and invented gunpowder, while Arabs were skilled in the use of medicine, astronomy, map-making, and mathematics and passed these developed and learned skills to Europe through trade and conquest (Birch, et al., 2012).
However, despite of the lack of technology, frequent migration, and intermittent war, some important agricultural advances did take place in Europe. One such agricultural advancement was a community based cultivation arrangement called the open-field system, “which involves long strips of arable land separated from each other by a furrow, balk...[t]he earliest examples of this system date from roughly 800, the year Charlemagne was crowned emperor of the West” (Rasmussen, Fussell, Mellanby, Nair, Ordish, Crawford, Gray, 2017, p. 1).
