In From Heaven to Arcadia, Ingrid Dowland suggests that this philosopher's only play, a comedy called The Candlemaker, inspired the tone of Shakespeare's Hamlet and other plays. One of this philosopher's treatises largely consists of a series of "dramatic sonnets" between the poet Luigi Tansillo and a naval officer named Cicada on the purity of "philosophical love." This philosopher quotes the poetry of Philip Sidney in his treatise on the "madness of love," The Heroic Frenzies, which is one of a set of six dialogues this man wrote, including The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast and The Ash Wednesday Supper. This philosopher was inspired by Hermetic doctrines to reject Aristotelian accounts of motion in his book Cause, Principle and Unity, which also provided a pantheist account of the universe. The thought of Nicholas of Cusa inspired this thinker to put forth a view that the world is infinite and that the Sun is at the centerof the Solar System. For 10 points, name this philosopher from Nola who was burned at the stake partly for his Copernican world view.
