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.Cambridge companions to philosophy.PhysicsEuropeHistory17th centuryPhysicsEuropeHistory18th centuryScienceEuropeHistory17th centuryScienceEuropeHistory18th centuryPhysicsHistoryPhysicsHistoryScienceHistoryScienceHistory530/.092Cohen I.
