Newton: Philosophical Writings (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy) 2nd Edition by Andrew Janiak (PDF)

Description

Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) left a voluminous legacy of writings. 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second edition of Philosophical Writings contains new excerpts from Newton’s earliest optical writings, some of his unpublished reflections on the interpretation of Scriptural passages that concern the Earth’s motion, and his correspondence with important figures in his day, including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.
