November 8, 2019, ICUB Humanities & Faculty of Philosophy, University of Bucharest.
Organizer: Iovan Drehe (ICUB Humanities)
The workshop is organized under the framework of the national research grant (code: PN-III-P4-ID-PCE-2016-0228), “The emergence of mathematical physics in the context of experimental philosophy.”
Petrus Ramus (1515 – 1572) was one of the most influential educational reformers in history. Although his views in specific fields such as logic or mathematics are overlooked by the historians of the respective disciplines, the influence of Ramism in the 17th century is widely recognized (e.g. on Baconianism, Cartesianism, Pansophism etc.). Research in this direction was already undertaken by scholars such as Walter J. Ong or more recently Howard Hotson. However, there is still more to be said on the relation between Ramus and the early modern encyclopedists and this workshop will focus on Ramist metaphysics, physics, logic and mathematics and their respective influences in the case of figures such as Bartholomäus Keckermann, Johann Heinrich Alsted, Johann Heinrich Bisterfeld, John Amos Comenius, or János Apáczai Csere. These influence is to be addressed also considering the institutional and interdenominational contexts in which they occurred.
