No, Medieval Scholasticism is a philosophical-theological tradition that is represented by great philosophers such as Augustine, Aquinas, Dun Scottus, Anselm, and William Ockahm. Basically it inherits philosophical problems and concepts from ancient greek philosophy (mostly Aristotle and Plato) usually for theological purposes. For example, Augustine synthesizes neoplatonism and christian theology together (or interprets christian theology with neoplatonic concepts). Thomas Aquinas adopted Aristotelian Philosophy (philosophy of Aristotle) to fit it in to Christian Theology, as a result he developed the first cause cosmological argument.

Is scholasticsm a system of religious philosophy?

TRUE. The introduction of many of Aristotle's works into medieval Europe combined with knowledge of church teachings led to the development of a religious philosophy known as Scholasticism. Scholasticism attempted to apply Aristotle's logic to church teachings. I got this directly from my textbook.

What is the cotribution of neo-scholasticism to philosophy?

Neo-Scholasticism is simply an attempt to revitalize the scholastic philosophy of the middle ages. The short answer would be to say that neo-scholasticism contributes to current philosophy as a sort of reawakening to the philosophical tenets of scholasticism. The major areas to which scholastic philosophy touches on most strongly would be philosophy of religion/philosophical theology, ethics (Virtue Ethics and Meta-Ehics), metaphysics, and political philosophy. You may also find that it touches on areas like Epistemology, philosophical anthropology, as well as others. It has also helped in the preservation of Aristotelian thought and works as the major thinkers in the school (ie, St. Thomas Aquinas) used Aristotle reconciled with Catholic theology as its foundation. Whether or not one considers the tenets of a particular philosophical school as contributory would depend on the extent to which you agree with the underlying suppositions. For this reason it might be more helpful, for the sake of conversation, to ask how it influences philosophy as opposed to what it contributes.
