Full Idea
The geometrical style of formalization of logic is now little more than a quaint anachronism, largely because it fails to show logical truths for what they are: simply by-products of rules of inference that are applicable to suppositions.
Gist of Idea
Geometrical axioms in logic are nowadays replaced by inference rules (which imply the logical truths)

A Reaction
This is the rejection of Russell-style axiom systems in favour of Gentzen-style natural deduction systems (starting from rules). Rumfitt quotes Dummett in support.
