Humanist and logicologist, b. Castel of Picardy in 1515; d. Paris in 1572. In spite of many difficulties such as poverty and loss of parents in early childhood, he succeeded in getting excellent education and in 1536 he received a master of literature from the University of Paris in 1536. His essay "Quæcumqueab Aristotele dicta sunt, commentitia sunt" ("All Aristotle doctrine is wrong"), even then, shows the direction of his thinking. He was a frank and uncompromising opponent of Aristotle's philosophy, the prestigious philosophy of any European learning center. His two main pieces, "Aristotle Anima Version" and "Dialtique Institute", were written in elegant human Latin, published in Paris in 1543, causing more intense conflict with the official academic circles. These books were condemned by the University of Paris and it was argued at the French Council until Francis I intervened by appointing a committee to listen to the controversy between Ramus and Gotti's Anthony, his main rival It became the subject. Most of the committee opposed Lamus and accused him as being "reckless, arrogant, rude." This decision was confirmed by the king. In 1547 after the addition of Henry II, Rams gained greater freedom for protection of the Cardinal Lorraine and succeeded in obtaining the status of a teacher or "Royal Instructor" at the University of Navarre. In 1562 he abandoned Catholic and became a Calvinist. In the massacre of Saint Bartholomew in 1702, he was elected to be an enemy and executed with every brutal atrocity. Rams is a wonderful and effective writer who is not ordinary. He discovered the weaknesses of popular logic teaching methods at the time and led him to actually attack him in various ways with the power of the famous Italian humanist Vives. He is particularly opposed to what he calls the logic infertility he is currently teaching and is complaining of scientific reforms with the wider human interests. In his logic of replacing Aristotle, he was not very successful. In general, he can say that a closer coalition between speech and logic is advocated between the art of speech and the art of controversy. Among his followers known as "Ramists" are British William Temple, German, Sturm, Freige, Fabricius. In the official academic circle, he was opposed not only at the University of Paris but also at Wittenberg, Helmstadt and others. His opponent is called anti - Ramist. For a while, his opposition to Aristotle's movement has influenced his views on anti Aristotle in every European country. However, although he found evidence in the famous "Royal Port Logic" in 1662, his influence did not last long.

The intellectual 'reform' advocated by the French · Renaissance humanist and philosopher Petrus Ramus (Britishization of Peter Ramus from 1515 to 1572) and thousands of his central and northwest European followers Experienced a major change in consciousness characterizing the transition from the ancient and medieval world to the modern world. The sophistication of Rums, a long history of tradition in logic and rhetoric in the West seems to characterize the whole knowledge and the reorganization of the whole world of man. ... The main (but not the only) support of the new Ramist philosophy is printing technology. Printing an unprecedented force in the thought and sentence of the visualist organization (both begin by writing first), doing so helps to effectively teach teaching while isolating knowledge from discourse and giving it pseudo-sex.
