This book seeks to illustrate the interconnections of science and
philosophy with religion and politics in the early modern period by
focusing on the institutional dynamics of the university. Much of
the work is devoted to one key university- that of Cambridge- and
examines the major issues of the institutional setting of Newton's
work, the religious and political circumstances that favoured its
dissemination, and the way in which it was dealt with in the
curriculum. But the author also seeks to place the problem of the
role of science in the early modern university in a larger,
European context. To do so, he includes a close prosopographical
analysis of the scientific community from the mid-15th TO the end
of the 18th century, and discusses the complex relations between
the universities and the Enlightenment.
