It includes studies of Newton's experimental methods in optics and their roots in Bacon and Boyle; Locke's and Hume's responses to Newton on the nature of matter, time, the structure of the sciences, and the limits of human inquiry. In addition it explores the use of Newtonian ideas in 18th-century pedagogy and the life sciences. Finally, it breaks new ground in analyzing the method of evidential reasoning heralded by the Principia, its nature, strength, and development in the subsequent three centuries of gravitational research. The volume will be of interest to historians of science and philosophy and philosophers interested in the nature of empiricism. 600 10 $a Newton, Isaac, $d 1642-1727. 650 0 $a Empiricism $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Empiricism $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Philosophy and science $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Philosophy and science $x History $y 18th century. 700 1 $a Biener, Zvi, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802024246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BB86FAE475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
