Answer
Ficino’s Florentine Academy influenced the development of philosophy in Europe by introducing the study of Neoplatonism, a school of thought that emphasized the importance of the mind and reason. Ficino’s translation of Plato’s dialogues and other works made these texts more accessible to European scholars, and his own writings on Neoplatonism helped to popularize the ideas of this school of thought.
