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of his unpublished reflections on the interpretation of Scriptural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.
