Who this is

“Seven hundred years before computers, a reformed troubadour built rotating paper wheels meant to generate true arguments — and discovered, the hard way, everything we are now learning about thinking machines.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 100

The big idea, in the book's words:

“If all minds share the structure of reason, then argument can be made systematic — even mechanical: a combinatorial "Art" that generates every question and its answer from principles all faiths accept.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 100
