The author writes that Ramus "freed the human spirit from the dungeon of Aristotle, and drew it forth from the medieval twilight. He improved all the literary and expression studies, and helped give mathematics and science a start. It seems fitting, therefore, to account Peter Ramus a leader in sixteenth-century reforms..."

Graves also notes that Ramus "was probably the foremost French philosopher of his century, and he stands well among the great educators, effective orators, and lofty characters of the world's history."
