Virgil's Georgics

Ramus was inspired by the traditions of the early academy that seem to embrace a kind of geometrical atomism. The idea that not just physical objects but geometrical objects themselves are made up of indivisible lines, smallest geometrical units. Ramus saw it as part of his remit to revive this theory which would put nature and mathematics back in conformity with each other. And that's what he seemed to have in mind when he's talking about a physics based on mathematical principles.
