Petrus Ramus, born Pierre de La Ramee (1515 to 26 August 1572), was a French humanist, logician and educational reformer. Born at Cuts in Picardy to a farming family, he entered the College de Navarre as a servant and took his master's degree in 1536. He became famous for iconoclastic attacks on Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian and argued that dialectic should be separated from rhetoric, which narrowed the scope of rhetorical theory. Opponents had his lectures banned in 1544, but Henry II restored him and in 1551 made him a royal professor at the College de France with the title Professor of Philosophy and eloquence. He converted to Protestantism and was killed in the St Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572.
