Petrus Ramus (Pierre de la Rameé), a twenty-year-old graduate student at the College de Navarre in Paris, is an anti-Aristotelian logician who entitles his master of arts thesis "Quaecumque ab Aristotele dicta essent commentitia esse" ("Whatever Aristotle has said is a fabrication").

After receiving his degree, he teaches at the College du Mans, Paris, and continues attacking Aristotle and his modern disciples.

Spanish humanist philosopher and scholar Juan Luis Vives produces an important work, "De anima et vita libri tres" ("Three Books on the Soul and Life"), in which he discusses the association of ideas, the nature of memory, and even animal psychology.
