Ramism
The great feature of Ramist methodology was that by usual dichotomous subdivision the entire field of knowledge could be mapped out for virtually instant com prehension. Its general topography could be taken in at a glance. By this method knowledge was readily reducible to pedagogy, and the abstruse and seemingly irrelevant logical machinations of Aristotelianism could be sidestepped.
