Published in 1721 by the prominent Puritan clergyman Cotton Mather,
The Christian Philosopher was the first comprehensive book on
science to be written by an American. Building on natural theology,
Mather demonstrated the harmony between religion and the new
science associated with Sir Isaac Newton. His survey of all the
known sciences from astronomy and physics to human anatomy
presented evidence that both celestial and terrestrial phenomena
imply an intelligent designer.
Winton Solberg's introduction places Mather's treatise in its
widest historical context. In addition to tracing the origins and
sources of Mather's work, Solberg analyzes the book's contents, its
reception, and its significance in American intellectual and
cultural history. This edition affirms Mather's importance to
American thought, as a deeply religious intellectual who introduced
the Enlightenment to America.
