About this product
Product Information
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.

'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, '… 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, "A worthy addition to the already rich and diverse Cambridge Companion series, this new multi-authored work provides a valuable tool for historians, philosophers, and theologians who study Newton's massive literary output and incalculable impact on the modern world."
