HISTORY OF IDEAS -- 188
This volume contains eleven essays by eminent scholars which focus on
Newton's theology, his study of alchemy, the early reception of
Newtonianism, and the history of Newton scholarship. It includes unique
accounts of the attempts over the last quarter of the twentieth century, to
publish Sir Isaac Newton's theological manuscripts, including an essay by
the eminent historian of philosophy, Richard H. Popkin, regarding his
involvement in this enterprise, as well as essays by Rob Iliffe and Scott
Mandelbrote, the founding Editorial Directors of the Newton Manuscript
Project, recently set up to publish Newton's unpublished manuscripts for
the first time. The volume also features the emerging interpretations of
Newton's seminal theological thought, and its relationship to his
scientific work, as well as other important essays which illuminate
Newton's influence upon so many of the complex and seemingly paradoxical
patterns of the Enlightenment.
