Presents Newton's unifying idea of gravitation and explains how he converted physics from a science of explanation into a general mathematical system.
Isaac Newton Books
December 25, 1642 – March 31, 1727
Sir Isaac Newton was an English scientist whose work in physics, mathematics, and astronomy fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the universe. His revolutionary theories of universal gravitation and the laws of motion, detailed in his seminal work, laid the groundwork for classical mechanics. This treatise not only unified celestial and terrestrial motions under a single set of natural laws but also advanced the scientific revolution. Newton also made profound contributions to optics and mathematics, including the development of calculus.

Isaac Newton ; Ausgewählt, übersetzt, Eingeleitet Und Herausgegeben Von Ed Dellian. Translation Of: Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Includes Indexes. Bibliography: P. [xxxvii]-xli.
Dieses Textbuch hilft, die philosophischen Grundlagen der Newtonschen Mechanik zu erarbeiten. Im Zentrum des Bandes steht die Schrift „Über die Gravitation und das Gleichgewicht von Flüssigkeiten“, in der Newton in ständiger Auseinandersetzung mit Descartes' „Principien der Philosophie“ seine Begriffe von Raum, Zeit und Bewegung entwickelt, mit deren Hilfe er dann in den Principia Mathematica seine Mechanik errichtet. Von diesem Text liegt hiermit zum ersten Mal eine deutsche Ubersetzung vor. Der lateinische Text wird reprographisch wiedergegeben. Außer den notwendigen Texterläuterungen enthält der Band als Anhang eine Neuübersetzung der Eingangspartien der „Principia Mathematica“ bis einschließlich der Formulierung der drei Newtonschen Gesetze.
