After completing his dissertation on the French logician and educational reformer Peter Ramus ( 1515-1572 ) and Ramism under the supervision of Perry Miller at Harvard University in 1954, Ong returned to Saint Louis University, where he would teach for the next 30 years.

John Milton ( 1608 – 1674 ) wrote a textbook in logic or dialectic in Latin based on Ramus ' work, which has now been translated into English by Walter J. Ong and Charles J. Ermatinger in The Complete Prose Works of John Milton ( Yale University Press, 1982 ; 8: 206-407 ), with a lengthy introduction by Ong ( 144-205 ).

The companion volume, Ramus and Talon Inventory ( 1958 ) is a notable work that contributes to the field known today as book history.

He published the Artificium perorandi of Giordano Bruno in 1610 ; and in the same year the Panacea philosophica, an attempt to find the common ground in the work of Aristotle, Raymond Lull, and Petrus Ramus.

" A " Mixt " took elements from both Aristotle and Ramus ; Philippo-Ramists, who blended Melanchthon with Ramus, were a type of " Mixt "; " Systematics " were " Mixts " who followed Keckermann in a belief in system, as Alsted did.

He was the moderator of the general synod which met in April, 1571, at La Rochelle and decided not to abolish church discipline or to acknowledge the civil government as head of the Church, as the Paris minister Jean Morel and the philosopher Pierre Ramus demanded ; it also decided to confirm anew the Calvinistic doctrine of the Lord's Supper ( by the expression: " substance of the body of Christ ") against Zwinglianism, which caused a very unpleasant discussion between Beza and Ramus and Heinrich Bullinger.

The commission also decides to impose the d ' choice to him ; artists such as the sculptor Joseph Marius Ramus or the painter Karl Müller of Düsseldorf without worrying to know if their works s ' will adapt to l ' structure reserve.

He was sent first to the nearby College of Auch as tutor to the sons of the local seigneur, then to the Collège de France, Paris, where he studied rhetoric and philosophy with the famous humanist logician and mathematician Petrus Ramus, who became his friend ; he studied law briefly at Bourges under the famous legist Jacques Cujas and became an advocate before the Parlement of Paris, while acting as tutor to Jean de la Barrière, the future reforming abbot of the Feuillants.

The work of Ramus gained early international attention, with Roger Ascham corresponding about him with Johann Sturm, teacher of Ramus and collaborator with Ascham ; Ascham supported his stance on Joachim Perion, one early opponent, but also expressed some reservations.

Two other theses of Ong on Ramism are: the end of copia or profuseness for its own sake in writing, making Ramus an opponent of the Erasmus of Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style ; and the beginning of the later Cartesian emphasis on clarity.

Émile Bréhier wrote that after Ramus, " order " as a criterion of the methodical had become commonplace ; Descartes needed only to supply to method the idea of relation, exemplified by the idea of a mathematical sequence based on a functional relationship of an element to its successor.

Rhetorical education became more restrained as style and substance separated in 16th-century France with Peter Ramus, and attention turned to the scientific method.

That is, influential scholars like Ramus argued that the processes of invention and arrangement should be elevated to the domain of philosophy, while rhetorical instruction should be chiefly concerned with the use of figures and other forms of the ornamentation of language.

A French scholar, Pierre de la Ramée, in Latin Petrus Ramus ( 1515 – 1572 ), dissatisfied with what he saw as the overly broad and redundant organization of the trivium, proposed a new curriculum.

* August 24 – St. Bartholomew's Day massacre: Catholics in Paris murder thousands of Protestants, including Gaspard de Coligny and Petrus Ramus, at the order of King Charles IX with Catherine de Medici's connivance.

In Paris he studied with the iconoclastic philosopher Petrus Ramus.

The Second Helvetic Confession earned his disapproval, in 1571, rupturing his relationship with Theodore Beza and leading Ramus to write angrily to Heinrich Bullinger.

The first writings on Ramism, after the death of Ramus, included biographies, and were by disciples of sorts: Freigius ( 1574 or 1575 ), Banosius ( 1576 ), Nancelius ( 1599 ), of whom only Nancelius was closely acquainted with the man.

The letter J was first distinguished from ' I ' by the Frenchman Pierre Ramus in the 16th century, but did not become common in Modern English until the 17th century, so that early 17th century works such as the first edition of the King James Version of the Bible ( 1611 ) continued to print the name with an I.

Ramism was closely linked to systematic Calvinism, but the hybrid Philippo-Ramism ( which is where the Semi-Ramists fit in ) arose as a blend of Ramus with the logic of Philipp Melanchthon.

Marshall McLuhan's dissertation on Thomas Nashe ( via the classical trivium ), who was involved in a high-profile literary quarrel with Harvey, was shaped by his interest in aligning Harvey with dialectic and the plain style ( logic in the sense of Ramus ), and Nashe with the full resources of Elizabethan rhetoric.

Ramus belonged a family of clerics, with the father, grandfather, stepfather and two brothers, clerics and scholars in various positions.

Ramus proposed transferring those back to the realm of dialectic ( logic ); and merging them under a new heading, renaming them as iudicium ( judgment ).

There was tacit adoption of some of the techniques such as the epitome, without acceptance of the whole package of reform including junking Aristotle in favour of the new textbooks, and making Ramus an authoritative figure.

Ong, though, consistently argues that Ramus is thin, insubstantial as a scholar, a beneficiary of fashion supported by the new medium of printing, as well as a transitional figure.
