Newton’s Challenge to Philosophy: A Programmatic Essay
Abstract
I identify a set of interlocking views that became (and still are) very influential within philosophy in the wake of Newton’s success. These views use the authority of natural philosophy/mechanics to settle debates within philosophy. I label these “Newton’s Challenge.”Author's Profile
