Excerpt from Introduction to the Literature of Europe in the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Centuries, Vol. 2 of 2Were divided, though by no means in equal propor tion, between the Aristotelians and the Ramists: the one sus tained by ancient renown, by civil OI at least academical power, and by the common prejudice against innovation; the other deriving some strength from the love of novelty, and the prejudice against established authority, which the first age of the Reformation had generated, and which continued, perhaps, to preserve a certain in?uence in the second. But neither from one nor the other had philosophy, whether in material or intellectual physics, much to hope: the disputations of the schools might be technically correct; but so little regard was paid''to objective truth, or at least so little pains taken to as certain it, that no advance in real knowledge signalized either of these parties of dialecticians. According, indeed, to a writer of this age, strongly attached to the Aristotelian party, Ramus had turned all physical science into the domain of logic, and argued from words to things still more than his Opponents.'' Lord Bacon,~in the bitterest language, casts on him a similar reproach.2 It seems that be caused this branch of philosophy to retrograde rather than advance.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
