In Byzantium from the ninth century through to the fifteenth century, philosophy as a discipline remained the science of fundamental truths concerning human beings and the world. Philosophy, the "wisdom from without" was invariably contrasted with the "philosophy from within" namely theology. The view that philosophy is "the handmaiden of theology" which the Greek Church Fathers derived from Philo and the Alexandrian school of theology, was not the dominant position in Byzantium as it was in the West; philosophy, and logic in particular, was never treated as a mere background to, or tool of theology.

Thus the initial distinction between philosophy and theology remained intact.
