This paper suggests a new cartography of early modern philosophy, which has been defined solely in terms of a comprehensive rejection of scholasticism. The inevitable consequence of the previous consensus is that the status of early modern scholasticism in european modern philosophy has been undervalued or even ignored among most of historians. Contrary to this picture, this paper focuses on some representative scholastic schools of the era between the Counter Reformation and the Enlightenment. The movement of early modern scholasticism covered not only the schools of the Roman Catholic Church but also so-called Protestant scholastic schools. From reflection of theoretical and institutional activities of the schools, it can be shown that early modern scholasticism was an international, vibrant, and pluralistic intellectual tradition that played a full part in seventeenth and eighteenth-century philosophy. The very best scholastic thinkers made a salient contribution to the philosophy of the period not only in their development of new ideas and positions within existing paradigms of scholastic argument, but also in their patient scrutiny of novel ideas by recourse to arguments from authority and an appeal to the weight of tradition. Therefore, we can conclude that (i) early modern scholastics made an important bequeath to their own philosophical traditions. and (ii) the relation between the professed 'scholastics' and the so-called 'modern philosophers' was neither superficial nor hostile, but reciprocal.
