Emilie du Chatelet was one of the most influential woman
philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her writings on natural
philosophy, physics, and mechanics had a decisive impact on
important scientific debates of the 18th century. Particularly, she
took an innovative and outstanding position in the controversy
between Newton and Leibniz, one of the fundamental scientific
discourses of that time. The contributions in this volume focus on
this "Leibnitian turn". They analyze the nature and motivation of
Emilie du Chatelet's synthesis of Newtonian and Leibnitian
philosophy. Apart from the Institutions Physiques they deal with
Emilie du Chatelet's annotated translation of Isaac Newton's
Principia. The chapters presented here collectively demonstrate
that her work was an essential contribution to the mediation
between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of
science.
