It is a truism that philosophy and the sciences were closely linked
in the age of Leibniz, Newton, and Kant; but a more precise
determination of the structure and dynamics of this linkage is
required. The subject matter of this volume is the interactions
among the developments in philosophy and the transformations that
the different branches of sciences, Baconian as well as classical,
underwent during this period. Among the topics addressed are the
transformations of metaphysics as a discipline, the emergence of
analytical mechanics and its consequences for founding physics on
metaphysics, the diverging avenues of 18th-century Newtonianism,
the body-mind problem as dealt with by philosophers and physicians,
and philosophical principles of classification in the life
sciences. As an appendix, a critical edition and first translation
into English of Newton's scholia from David Gregory's Estate on the
Propositions IV through IX Book III of his Principia is added.
