Petrus Ramus (1515 - August 26, 1572) was an influential French humanist, logician, and educational reformer. He gained admission at age twelve, to the Collège de Navarre, working as a servant. A reaction against scholasticism was in full tide, at a transitional time for Aristotelianism. A central issue to his anti-Aristotelianism arose out of a concern for pedagogy.
