Abstract :This article aims at shedding light on the rational structure that dominated the political and intellectual life in the West during the Medieval Ages. Defined as the Church theology, this structure principally depends upon a particular form of ontology and social theory. One can argue that almost all of the ethical and political values of the Medieval Ages originated from these two sources. In this article, I will analyze the collapse and development of this understanding into the Enlightenment from the viewpoint of political thought.
