项目摘要

Peter Ramus, the famous French philosopher, is said to have influenced three major English poets: Sir Philip Sidney, Christopher Marlowe and John Milton. Milton wrote a large text-book of Ramean logic. Marlowe made Ramus appear on the stage of his play entitled The Massacre at Paris. Sidney did not mention in his work, though he must have seen Ramus face to face,Probably it will take a long time for a revolutionary thinker like Ramus to influence foreign literature. It can be easily supposed that Sidney must have had a letter of introduction written by his mentor John Dee to Ramus. However, he was one too deeply immersed in traditional thought to have been influenced by this new logician. On the contrary, Marlowe correctly accepted Ramus's message, the essential points of which are two: the simplification of logic by dichotomy and the distinction between artificial and inartificial arguments. Marlowe makes Guise say in The Massacre at Paris that on account of these two points, Ramus sh … More ould be killed.Cambridge University began to import Ramean logic while Ramus was still alive. Christ's College to which Milton belonged was a bulwark of Ramism in the earlier l7th century. Therefore it is natural that Milton should have compiled a text book of Ramean logic with which he wished to teach his nephews. Milton published this work, which had been written about 30 years earlier, two years before his death. Considering the depth of Milton's regard for Ramus, I have always thought that Milton's verse would be saturated with Ramean logic, and I hope to illustrate how this is so during the presentation of my paper,In the 17ィイD1thィエD1 century Ramean logic was favourably accepted as a practical weapon by Puritan priests and lawyers on the pulpit and in court. The dichotomy of 'either/or' which forms the basis of this logic of persuasion had a strong power, which is, moreover, made manifest by Satan when he successfully tempts Eve to eat of the forbidden tree (P.L. 9.679-732). The best example of artificial vs. inartificial arguments is found in opening five lines of the first book of Paradise Lost.At the same time, we can re-read Milton in relation with Robert Fiudd who belonged to the old-fashioned intellectual world, According to Denis Saurat and Frances Yates, cabalism led Milton to the doctrine of creatio ex deo. But a recent study of the Old Testament indicates that creatio ex nihilo is a doctrine which was made by the second-century church fathers. Less

据说，法国著名哲学家彼得·拉穆斯影响了英国三大诗人：菲利普·西德尼爵士、克里斯托弗·马洛和约翰·弥尔顿，他写了一部关于拉米亚逻辑的大型教科书，使拉穆斯登上了他的戏剧舞台。巴黎大屠杀虽然他一定见过拉穆斯，但他在他的作品中没有提及，像拉穆斯这样的革命思想家可能需要很长时间才能影响外国文学。马洛一定有他的导师约翰·迪伊给拉穆斯写的介绍信。然而，他太沉迷于传统思想，没有受到这位新逻辑学家的影响，相反，马洛正确地接受了拉穆斯的信息，即逻辑学的要点。这有两个：二分法对逻辑的简化以及人为和非人为论证之间的区别，马洛在《巴黎大屠杀》中使吉斯说，由于这两点，拉穆斯应该是。弥尔顿所属的基督学院在17世纪早期是拉穆斯主义的堡垒，剑桥大学就开始引进拉穆斯逻辑。弥尔顿出版了这部大约 30 年前，即他去世前两年的作品，考虑到弥尔顿对拉穆斯的深切敬意，我一直认为弥尔顿的诗句会。拉米亚逻辑充满了，我希望在我的论文介绍过程中说明这一点，在 17 世纪，拉米亚逻辑在讲坛上和法庭上被清教徒牧师和律师视为实用武器。构成这种说服逻辑基础的“非此即彼”具有强大的力量，而且，当撒旦成功引诱夏娃吃禁树上的果子时，它就表现出了这种力量。（P.L. 9.679-732）人工与非人工论证的最佳例子可以在《失乐园》第一本书的开头五行中找到。同时，我们可以重新阅读弥尔顿与罗伯特·菲德（Robert Fiudd）的关系。根据丹尼斯·索拉特和弗朗西斯·耶茨的说法，在老式的知识世界中，神秘主义使弥尔顿得出了“从上帝创造”的教义，但最近对《旧约》的研究表明，从无到有的创造。这是二世纪教父们所制定的教义。
