About this title

Synopsis:

This is a social history of Newtonian philosophy which aims to stimulate debate over the role of social and ideological climates in the development of science. The author describes the integration of Newton's science with the interests of the Anglican church in the English constitutional order of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, seeking to reintegrate the scientific history of the period into the narrative framework of general history. At the same time, the book argues that the great power of science must be recognized, based not simply on its social construction, but also on its ability to exist in a dialectic with nature.
