Ramism and the Reformation of Method: The Franciscan Legacy in Early Modernity: Oxford Studies in Historical Theology

Autor Simon J. G. Burton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 aug 2024
Ramism and the Reformation of Method offers a fresh exploration of the philosophical and theological presuppositions of the early modern movement of Ramism. It shows how Ramism was grounded in medieval Augustinian and Franciscan thought and charts its reception within the wider movement of Reformed scholasticism. It thereby challenges a widespread narrative associating Reformed Protestantism with disenchantment and the onset of secularism. Tracing a broad arc from Ramus to Comenius, it examines the nature and formation of Ramism and its subsequent development and transformation, revealing that Ramism was at the epicentre of a methodological revolution which came to profoundly impact every sphere of early modern thought. For its devotees, Ramism became the hallmark of a truly Christian philosophy and theology, the divine pattern of all reality, and the key to restoring a unified Christendom. Fundamental to Ramism was a dynamic convergence of ontology, epistemology, and theology resonating with Franciscan reform. In particular, Ramism was profoundly indebted to an eclectic Neo-Platonist and Scotist approach to reality and developed as a supernatural logic of faith patterned on Scripture. It was also expressed according to a wider mathematization and systematization of knowledge grounded in Cusan and Fabrist ideals. Ramism and the Reformation of Method exposes the deep roots of the early modern encyclopaedia in medieval and Renaissance thought and shows how Ramism was realized in an important Edenic paradigm, issuing in a Trinitarian and eschatological drive for the universal reform of Church and society.

Recenzii

A truly remarkable achievement, this pioneering book locates Ramism squarely within a tradition both far longer and far broader than anything proposed before, revealing for the first time the profound debt of the leading encyclopaedists, pansophists, and universal reformers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to their medieval Franciscan predecessors.
This compelling study highlights the importance of Franciscan exemplarism for the Ramist remodelling of the arts and sciences. Based on meticulous analyses of primary texts, it poses a real challenge to all those who charge Ramism, and more generally the Reformed tradition, with the disintegration of the medieval worldview.
