Ramism was a collection of theories on rhetoric, logic and pedagogy based on the teachings of Petrus Ramus, a French academic, philosopher and Huguenot convert who died in 1572.
According to Jonathan Israel, Ramism
- "despite its crudity, enjoyed vast popularity in late sixteenth-century Europe, and at the outset of the seventeenth, providing as it did a method of systematizing all branches of knowledge, emphasizing the relevance of theory to practical applications [...]." --Jonathan Israel, The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness and Fall 1477–1806 (1995), p. 582.
