Elements of Newton's Philosophy
Author: VoltairePublisher: Newcomb Livraria Press
ISBN: 3989889281
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
A new translation directly from the original French manuscript of Voltaire's 1738 Elements of Newton's Philosophy. This edition also contains supplemental material on Voltaire including an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Voltaire's life and works, summaries of each of the works in his corpus, and a glossary of Philosophic Terminology used by Voltaire. This was an attempt by Voltaire to popularize the ideas of Isaac Newton in France while he lived in England in exile. Along with Rousseau's help, this helped establish Newtonian physics as the dominant scientific paradigm in France, and helped to inspire a new wave of scientific inquiry and innovation. The work also challenged traditional religious views, and argued for the importance of Materialistic reasoning and Cartesian systematic observation in understanding the natural world.
