This treatise has often been held responsible for a contemporary reassessment of the status of astrology, a discipline that attracted widespread fascination in the Renaissance. Akopyan's reconstruction of the development of Pico's views demonstrates that the Disputationes was a continuation of rather than a drastic rupture with the rest of his legacy. By investigating the philosophical and humanist foundations for Pico's attack on astrological predictions, Akopyan challenges the popular assumption that the treatise was written under Girolamo Savonarola's spell. He shows instead how it was appropriated ideologically by pro-Savonarolan circles after Pico's death. This book also offers a comprehensive study of the immediate reception of the Disputationes across Italy and Europe and reveals that the debates initiated by Pico's intervention pervaded all of the European intellectual oikumene. 410 0$aBrill's studies in intellectual history ;$vVolume 325. 606 $aAstrology$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aPhilosophy$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aPhilosophers$zItaly$vBiography 606 $aAstrology$xHistory 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aPhilosophy, Renaissance 606 $aPhilosophy, Italian 607 $aItaly$xIntellectual life$y1268-1559 615 0$aAstrology$xEarly works to 1800. 615 0$aPhilosophy$xEarly works to 1800. 615 0$aPhilosophers 615 0$aAstrology$xHistory. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Renaissance. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Italian. 676 $a195 700 $aAkopyan$b Ovanes$01628952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824676603321 996 $aDebating the stars in the Italian Renaissance$93966380 997 $aUNINA
