I want to know the answer to the following question:
What group was neutral about this issue as they felt the subject unimportant?
All the background I'm provided with is that "This was despite what A. C. Crombie (viewing the Renaissance in the 19th-century manner as a chapter in the heroic March of Progress) calls "a backwards-looking admiration for antiquity", in which Platonism stood in opposition to the Aristotelian concentration on the observable properties of the physical world.". Is that enough to answer the question?
