Rationality and religious belief,two important aspects in the cultural and spiritual life of a society,are often considered as polar opposites.The scientific spirit long ago established itself as the driving spirit of Western thought .In contrast ,the religious outlook has lost its prestige as a viable view of the world.lt is derided and rejected by the mass of the people .However,in reality ,both reason and belief are a part of the Western cultural system.They have both been active in the spiritual network that is found in Western society.The point is that the spiritual network manifests these different characteristics at diffirent times.For example ,the relationship between reason and belief was still an embryonic problem in the middle ages .It went throught a complete cycle of development .which included its formation ,its zenith and its delcline .The philosophy of the middle ages built on the achievements of Greek thought.Accordingly,it contained a sudtle blending of reason and belief that stemmed from the twin pillars of scientific rationality and religious zeal that characterized Creek society.In the late Hellenisitic period,the fusion of reason and religious realized by the ancients laid the foundations for Middle Age scholasticism.That foundation consists of two main elementsithe religious belief of the Creek period and Judaism_the philosophy of Christianity.The situation of the Middle Ages scholastitism is the blending example of reason and belief..However.their separation lead to the Middle Ages philosophy to be declined and separate .The analysis and generalization of the Middle Ages Europe Philosophy helps us understand and master the spirit of western philosophy and its developing clue.With the development of modern science and technology and reason ,the crisis of life significance and the lost of life value are becoming more and more serious.In this case,emphasis and rethinking of the relationship between reason and belief plays an important role in rebuilding people's spiritual world and improve social forwardness.
