The dominant philosophy of the middle ages was Scholasticism: the rigorous application of logical exegesis to extract the maximum possible of meaning out of Scripture.
The Scholastics achieved some miracles of logical analysis (ordinary people were so impressed with how inerrantly they could deduce propositions from axioms that they assumed logical analysis was a form of magic) - but at the end of the day there is a very limited amount of truth in The Bible.
Civilisation was only finally able to move out of the medieval gloom when the Renaissance arrived with its forensics and empiricism.

What was the Medieval Times in philosophy?
Philosophy was valued differently by people at different times, different place, and different cultures, within the middle ages. The middle ages lasted 1000 years, and happened across a continent. Even within a single city, there could be people of three or even four cultural backgrounds, and this is especially true of Spain, where the study of philosophy was revived in western medieval Europe. During the period of the first half of the Early Middle Ages (5th to 8th centuries), there was not a lot of progress in philosophy. Then Muslims brought Arab copies of the works of Greek philosophers with them when they invaded Spain, and the local Jewish people had philosophers of their own. These groups translated the works of the ancient Greeks and more recent Arabs and Jews into Latin, and they were distributed across Europe. The rise of Universities in the High Middle Ages made philosophy even more important. The University of Bologna was opened in 1088, and by the end of the Middle Ages, another 70 universities opened in Europe.
