More about the book
The book presents a unique interpretation of how Newtonian mechanics has shaped the American political system since its inception. The author argues that this mechanistic tradition influences our understanding and analysis of politics, particularly reflected in the system's 'checks and balances.' By exploring this connection, the work highlights the enduring impact of scientific principles on political thought and governance in America.
