Question

Description acceptable. A Disputation by Pico della Mirandola sparked the development of this idea according to a history of it by Robert Westman, which also describes its selective “Wittenberg Interpretation.” Proponents of this idea derisively named their opponents the “Pigeon League” after a philosopher who advanced an early form of the “tower argument” against it. A dialogue was initially allowed to be published as long as it (15[2])didn’t explicitly endorse this (-5[1])idea, but was censored for (15[1])presenting too (15[1])strong (15[1])of an argument and for naming one character after a (*) 6th-century neoplatonist. The character Salviati (10[1])advances this idea in a dialogue featuring the intelligent layman (10[1])Saredo and the Aristotelian Simplicio. A 1543 work advancing this (10[1])idea initiated the first paradigm shift (10[1])listed by Thomas Kuhn. For 10 points, the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems discusses what idea proposed by Copernicus? ■END■
