"Christianity
In the first centuries of Christianity there was formed the Christian law – Canon. It was formed by Church Fathers – the thinkers who accepted new religion and combined it with ancient philosophy of Plato, Aristotle.
One of these Church Fathers was St. Augustine. He studied rhetoric and classical philosophy and then he became a teacher of rhetorics. His point of view was this: evil is not a product of some bad power, it is only a lack of good power.
The main work of St. Augustine is the book Confessions with its autobiographical didactic, devotional and philosophical aspects. In the first nine books there is described Augustine´s previous life and his conversion to Christianity. Book XI. Is theological and philosophical. Augustine asks in this book, what was God doing before the creation of Heaven and Earth? What is the time and how is possible to measure it? How did God create world? What was the material? Because there was anything before… For Augustine the God is the greatest being, the beginning of everything. About time Augustine said it is relative, he thought about what is the past and what is the future. His supposition was that the past does not already exist and the future does not exist yet.
After this period of forming Christianity the develompmet of society and education flew into the rise of the first universities.. Since Antiquity there was the request of education, mainly as a part of training for active citizens, politicans, lawyers. The need of general education was mentioned already in Plato´s Republic and Aristotle said the same – the free citizen should have certain general knowledge. On the beginning the liberal arts were activities, which make human soul free of material world. Romans divided these artes liberale into the three groups: 1. grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, 2. geometry, arithmetics, astronomy, music, 3. medicine, architecture. The first group was later called trivium, the second group was called old kvadrivium and in the third group there were subjects with theoretical, but also with practical aims."
