In my early years I was constituted in the exacting imperatives of
philosophical analysis. That stern face is present in the
composition of the Newton essays chosen here for republication. It
is my hope that potential readers will be patient with the old Adam
of analysis, and seize the portrait of Newton's intellec tual world
presented in these essays. It is gratifying for me to acknowledge
the encouragement of Robert Butts and John Nicholas of the
University of Western Ontario, intellectual comrades in arms. It
was at Western that I began my intellectual journey, and many of
the present members of the Philosophy Department remain my friends
and mentors. I thank also Marta Spranzi Zuber who long ago believed
in the merit of my Newton scholarship. But most important to me is
the sustaining encouragement of Professor Barbara Tuchanska, who
shares my vision of the historicity of scientific thought. It is a
pleasure to express my gratitude for membership, over twenty years,
in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the
University of Pittsburgh. It is the mecca for one who seeks to
understand. J. E."
