Question
In the 16th century, philosophical dialogues on this concept were written by Judah Leon Abravanel and Tullia d’Aragona, the latter of whom was the first Western philosopher to write a dialogue on this concept with a woman as the main disputant. A set of seven orationes (“oh-rah-T’YOH-nace”) on this concept was dedicated to the author’s best friend Giovanni Cavalcanti, and was written by a proponent of prisca theologia (“PRISS-kuh tay-oh-LOH-jee-ah”) who coined the name for a specific form of this concept. Three men argue about this concept in The People of Asolo by Pietro Bembo, who delivers a discourse in The Book of the Courtier favoring this concept’s “rational” form. Marsilio Ficino (“fee-CHEE-noh”) named a form of this concept after a philosopher who wrote a passage in which Diotima compares forms of this concept to rungs on a ladder. For 10 points, Renaissance philosophers often wrote about what concept’s “Platonic” form? ■END■
