Isaac Newton was not a scientist in the contemporary sense; he was a natural philosopher, a thinker who articulated a grand vision of nature and of its creator. Newton is an evocative intellectual history that presents a comprehensive exploration of Newtons thoughts concerning philosophical problems, our knowledge of nature, and even the nature of the divine being. Janiak sheds new light on these areas of Newtons work, offering a rare depiction of Newton as a philosophical figure. Newtons ideas are presented within the context of the history of philosophy, revealing his engagement with the work of earlier figures such as Galileo and Descartes, with contemporaries, including John Locke and G.W. Leibniz, and with pressing problems in theology and its relations with other branches of knowledge. This unique text is written in a style that is accessible to those with little or no previous knowledge of Newton and his philosophical writings, but which is sufficiently detailed in its notes to be of interest to scholars.
