Yazar: Petrus Ramus

Destek
Petrus Ramus, born Pierre de la Ramée (1515 – 1572), was a French humanist, logician, and educational reformer whose work and influence spanned across the fields of rhetoric, logic, and philosophy. Esteemed for his efforts to reform the pedagogical structures of his time, Ramus critiqued the dominant Aristotelian framework and sought to promote a more practical approach to education. His magnum opus “The Way To Geometry” (Latin: “Via ad Geometriam”), illustrates this commitment to practical pedagogy, offering a structured method for learning geometry, accessible to a broader audience (Ong, 1958). Ramus”s philosophical and pedagogical stance is characterized by a distinctive dialectical style, aiming to simplify the complexities of knowledge to foster effective teaching and learning. His confrontational approach often led him into intellectual and theological conflicts, particularly with the more traditional scholastic thinkers of his era. Despite his tragic death during the St. Bartholomew”s Day massacre—a grim testament to the volatile religious tensions of the period—Ramus”s influence perdured, profoundly shaping the development of educational practices and the dissemination of knowledge in Europe. Ramus”s works, which include treatises on rhetoric, logic, and the aforementioned geometry, were indicative of his larger intellectual project: the reconfiguration of learning to better serve the advancement of human reason and practical knowledge (Mack, 2002).
