Maimonides, who with St. Thomas Aquinas is perhaps the most balanced of all medieval theologians, has described in a masterly manner the sort of game which these men [theologists; not to be confused with theologians] were playing.

[Jac3510]

In the context I was writing in, a theologist is someone who confuses theology with philosophy. That is, it is someone who thinks they are doing philosophy but is actually doing theology. The results are predictable. Absolute skepticism about any and everything. That particular line you bring up comes from a book I've often quoted here: The Unity of Philosophical Experience by Etienne Gilson. Go read the first chapter linked there, and if it is to your liking, I very, very, very highly recommend buying and reading the rest. That chapter, fyi, is about what Gilson calls "logicism," but you'll very easily make the connection the "theologism."
