History of philosophical thought from late antiquity to humanism, with particular reference to the Latin language and cultural dynamics which constitute the original contribution of the schools to the definition of the logical and linguistic procedures, as well as to the "growth" of knowledge, through what remains in cultural circles of the ancient philosophical tradition and of the arabic and scientific experiences and mediations.
