Peter Ramus Read: Freewriting Style, Delivery and Memory Peter Ramus had relegated rhetoric basically to the 3 canons of style, delivery, and memory. Not Invention and Arrangement He argued that invention and arrangement, the other 2 canons, of the original five canons, were not rhetorical in nature. Being a transitional figure, very much a part of the Renaissance, he respected the newly discovered ancients and at the same time did not fear criticizing the ancients, especially ancient rhetors. Scientific Discourse: Language is Transparent Science was gaining in importance and would be the model rhetoric where language and perspicuity fit perfectly together. Words in scientific discourse become transparent, and the truth they represent become clearly visible. It stands arhetorical in nature. Thus, reality and human ingenuity create and expand our use of language; however, Jacques Derrida, in the twentieth century, deconstructs this "logocentrism" and contends that language creates reality. Current-traditional Method Because of the wide influence and acceptance of Peter Ramus, composition instructors would limit their concept of writing and focus on the writing style, especially pushing grammar and mechanics.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... R > Peter Ramus A B C D ... Z Peter Ramus Aristotle's doctrines are false") indicates the direction of his thoughts even at that time. He was an outspoken and uncompromising opponent of the Aristotelean Francis I interposed by appointing a committee to listen to a disputation between Ramus and his principal opponent, Anthony of Govea. The majority of the committee decided against Ramus, and condemned him as "rash, arrogant and impudent". This decision was confirmed by the king. In 1547, after the accession of Henry II, and owing to the protection of the Cardinal of Lorraine, Ramus was accorded greater liberty, and succeeded in obtaining a position as teacher, or "royal lecturer", at the College of Navarre. In 1562, he renounced Catholicism and became a Calvinist . In the massacre of St. Bartholomew, in 1572, he was singled out by his enemies and put to death with every circumstance of cruelty and brutality. Ramus was a writer of more than ordinary brilliancy and effectiveness. He sought out the weak points in the method of teaching logic then in vogue, and directed his attack against them with the ability, and indeed, very much in the manner, of the celebrated Italian Humanist, Vives. He objected especially to what he called the sterility of the logic then currently taught, and pleaded for a reform of the science along lines of broader human interest. In his positive teaching, that is to say, in the logic which he wished to substitute for the Aristotelean , he was not very successful. In a general way, he may be said to have advocated a closer union between rhetoric and logic, between the art of exposition and the art of argumentation. Among his following, the "Ramists", as they were called, were the Englishman, William Temple, and the Germans, Sturm, Freige, and Fabricius. In the official academic world he met with opposition not only at the University of Paris but also at Wittenberg, Helmstadt, and elsewhere. His opponents were called Anti-Ramists. For a time, his campaign against

Religion Affiliation: Catholic, Calvinist In 1561, he embraced Calvinism with enthusiasm. In 1562 he published a plan of reform for the University of Paris, in which he proposed the study of the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek in the theological faculty. Late in 1562, when Calvinists were ordered out of Paris, he fled to Fontainebleau. He returned to Paris under the Peace of Amboise in 1563, and again fled Paris in 1567, taking refuge with the Prince de Condé. He returned to Paris to ask leave of the King to travel in Germany. From 1568 to 1570 he toured the protestant centers of Switzerland and Germany. Lured back to Paris in 1570 by the promises of tolerance, he received titles and salaries, but was banned from teaching. While in the midst of a vast publication project he was caught by the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and despite explicit royal protection he was cruelly murdered.
