Newton studies have undergone radical changes in the last half-century as                  more of his work has been uncovered and more details of his life and intellectual                  context have come to light. This volume singles out two strands in recent Newton                  studies: the intellectual background to Newton's scientific thought and both                  specific and general aspects of his technical science. The essays make new claims                  concerning Newton's mathematical methods, experimental investigations, and                  motivations, as well as the effect that his long presence had on science in                  England.The book is divided into two parts. The essays in part I shed new light on                  Newton's motivations and the sources of his method. The essays in part II explore                  Newton's mathematical philosophy and his development of rational mechanics and                  celestial dynamics. An appendix includes the last paper by Newton biographer Richard                  W. Westfall, examining some of the ways that mathematics came to be used in the age                  of Newton in pursuits and domains other than theoretical or rational                  mechanics.
