  Ramon Llull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramon Llull (1235 – June 29, 1315) (sometimes Raymond Lully or in Latin Raimundus or Raymundus Lullus) was a writer and philosopher born into a wealthy family in Palma, Majorca, in the Balearic Islands, now part of Spain.
Llull was well educated, and became the tutor of James II of Aragon.
Llull based this on the notion that there were a limited number of basic, undeniable truths in all fields of knowledge, and that we could understand everything about these fields of knowledge by studying combinations of these elemental truths.

Ramon Llull was born on the island of Majorca, probably in 1232.
Llull's proposals were not received favourably, despite the eventual fall of Acre in 1291 and a renewed crusading fervour in Europe; he returned to Genoa, whose citizens welcomed him and his plans.
Llull died early the next year, martyred at Bougie according to one probably apocryphal tradition, or more likely upon returning to his native Majorca, where he was buried in the convent of Saint Francis.

 Ramon Llull University - Introduction
The Ramon Llull University (URL) was founded on the 1st of March 1990 and proclaimed by unanimous vote by the Parlament de Catalunya (Catalan Regional Parliament) on the 10th of May 1991.
Ramon Llull was the son of one of the military leaders who reconquered Mallorca from the Moslems.
Ramon Llull's literary activity was inspired in his missionary purposes and in the educational efforts, both subject that were reflected in a work with more than 270 treatises (many in Arabic) on philosophy, music, navigation, law, astronomy, mathematics and theology.

Llull wanted to use the Art as a mean to prove that the trinitarian God is a possibility which had to be recognized by the non-christians before the missionary could con-tinue his attempt to convince of the truth of christianity.
Llull even went as far as meaning that the Art could be used as a support for all sciences and with this could be seen as an auxiliary science which surpasses logic.
Where Llull and Leibniz mostly had to rely on writing and ocassionally drawings to mediate their ideas, we have today the possibility to use different medias collected on the computer to create an understanding and to mediate knowledge which a short while ago was totally hidden or very difficult to mediate.

A dedicated missionary, still venerated as ‘Blessed Ramon Llull’ by the Franciscans and the Catholics of Majorca, came to be thought of as a ‘Magus’ and was accused of heresy.
Ramon Llull was obsessed with the mission of converting the ‘saracens’.
Llull’s approach differed in that he based his arguments on the mystical doctrine of QBLH and was, therefore, using the Jews’ own interpretations against them.

Although the basis of Llull's General Art is patently Neoplatonic and his arguments typically resemble those of twelfth-century speculative theologians, various modern scholars have sought to discover a genuine formal validity, in Llull's General Art3 and have even proclaimed it a precursor of modern symbolic logic.
Llull clearly regards this Beauty as a transcendental feature of being, but his explanation of its metaphysical status is so vague, as subsequent examples will show, that it would be hazardous to claim any source for his views in specific Franciscan authorities or other Scholastics who also treated the transcendental status of beauty.
Llull recognizes this end explicitly in the introduction to his section on Love where he declares that "He who speaks in love beautifies his speech through love,"67 and love, as he defines it elsewhere, is the union of one will to another.

However, Llull's use of philosophy or theology is hardly academic: he often denounces the schools and universities, claiming that they ignore the quest for divine truth in favor of quibbling over human errors and preparing clerics for lucrative professional careers.
Llull's narrative is in fact one of the earliest texts to advocate extensive booklearning for the laity.

Llull provides four figures in the form of circular or tabular diagrams which recombine the elements of this table in different ways.
Llull implicitly recognises this: in fact, to perform some of the tasks he proposes — such as the construction of syllogisms — a good deal of interpretation and reasoning outside the system is required: the four figures alone merely give you a start.

Ramon Llull was a Christian philosopher who used a mechanical way of investigating truth, a set of concentric wheels on which words were written.
Ramon Llull (1232 - 1316) was a pleasure seeking Spanish knight who liked to love the ladies, take part in tournaments, and do battle.
This echoes Llull's idea that a purely mechanical device could come up with all the truth in the universe.

In Genoa Llull suffered some kind of spiritual crisis: he vacillated with anguish between joining the Dominican or Franciscan orders; the former had already rejected his Art, but a revelation indicated that it was his only path of personal salvation; he eventually joined the Franciscans, whose vows he took at the rank of tertiary.
