About
Nelson's succinct monograph demolishes the claims for Peter Ramus as an innovator in logical thought. Nelson shows in bold, stark terms that Ramus's logic was no logica at all, but muddy thinking that mixed and confused it with rhetoric and poetic, engendering similar confusions in subsequent thinking.
