Product Description
Review
‘… the quality of the scholarship is consistently high and often illuminating … there is a very well organized bibliography, offering an excellent guide for further study … This volume is consciously aimed at distinguishing Newton from the legend, and it does so admirably.’ British Journal for the History of Philosophy
Product Description
Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was one of the greatest scientists of all time, a thinker of extraordinary range and creativity who has left enduring legacies in mathematics and the natural sciences. In this volume a team of distinguished contributors examine all the main aspects of Newton’s thought, including not only his approach to space, time, mechanics, and universal gravity in his Principia, his research in optics, and his contributions to mathematics, but also his more clandestine investigations into alchemy, theology, and prophecy, which have sometimes been overshadowed by his mathematical and scientific interests.
