Despite his influence on the early modern period, his correspondence, manuscripts, and publications in natural philosophy remain scattered throughout many disparate editions. In this volume, Newton's principal philosophical writings, including excerpts from the Principia and the Opticks and a corrected translation of 'De Gravitatione', are collected in a single place. This newly expanded second edition of Philosophical Writings contains new excerpts from Newton's earliest optical writings, some of his unpublished reflections on the interpretation of Scriptural passages that concern the Earth's motion, and his correspondence with important figures in his day, including the theologian Richard Bentley, the mathematician Roger Cotes, and the philosopher G. W. Leibniz. The excerpts show in depth how Newton developed a number of highly controversial views concerning space, time, motion and matter and then defended them against the withering criticisms of his contemporaries.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 360gContributor: Andrew Janiak (Edited by)Author: Andrew JaniakGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Cambridge Texts in the History of PhilosophyTopic: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
