In 1784 the visionary French architect Etienne-Louis Boullée (1728– 1799) designed a colossal monument to Isaac Newton (1642–1727) that was both a cenotaph and a planetarium. A tribute to Newton’s contributions to astronomy, the building was conceived as a microcosm in which the night sky would be visible by day and the daytime sky by night. Entering the ‘center of gravity’ of a vast hollow globe set in cylindrical tiers, the viewer would experience the virtual reality of the starry heavens created by natural light sparkling through shafts in the exterior of the masonry sphere.

The scientific cultivation of natural knowledge drawn from the examples of Sir Francis Bacon (1561–1626), John Locke (1632–1704), and Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was a defining pursuit in the Scottish Enlightenment. The Aberdonian philosopher George Dalgarno (1616–1687); Thomas Reid (1710–1796), a member of the Aberdeen Philosophical Society known as the Wise Club; and the professor of moral philosophy at Edinburgh University Dugald Stewart (1753–1828), contributed to that Scottish pattern of phil

Au cœur de sa genèse se situe ainsi la question de la relation entre conceptualisation et mathématisation.

Abstract:
Abstract Alexander Pope’s epitaph for the monument erected to the memory of Sir Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey in 1731 succinctly proclaims the extra ordinary intellectual virtue of the greatest scientific innovator of the age. A Latin inscription witnesses to Newton’s immortality, an immortality triply safeguarded by Time, Nature, and Heaven; a couplet in English, the sublime confidence of which has served to provoke later generations, unequivocally asserts that the systematized vision which he offered was divinely inspired. ‘Nature and Nature’s Laws lay hid in Night, I God said, Let Newton be! and All was Light.’ Pope’s epitaph is more than a personal tribute to a great man; it is a public statement displayed in a much frequented national church which sums up the gratitude of a proud civilization. Newton (1642-1727), ‘the Miracle of the present Age’ as Joseph Addison called him, had given his eighteenth century heirs a carefully reasoned theoretical framework on which a whole range of additional theories could be hung. His Principia of 1687 and his Opticks of 1704 suggested that there were indeed intelligible laws in nature which could be demonstrated by physics and mathematics, and, moreover, that the universe exhibited a magnificent symmetry and a mechanical certainty. This universe, Newton had declared, could not have arisen ‘out of a Chaos by the mere Laws of Nature’; such a ‘wonderful Uniformity in the Planetary System’ had to be the handiwork of an intelligent and benevolent Creator. To the many eighteenth century propagators of Newton’s thought, the great could be related to the less, the cosmic to the terrestrial, and the divine to the human by means of a properly tutored understanding of the natural scheme of things. By inter pretation, Newton’s heavens declared that there was order, law, and indeed design in creation. Largely thanks to the propagandist work of the Royal Society in London and European-wide advances in astronomy, mathematics, mechanics, physics, and optics, natural philosophy had shed the taint of forbidden knowledge. Religious mystery could be enhanced, and sometimes even replaced, by rational wonder. The revolution in scientific thought begun by Copernicus 150 years earlier was to be fulfilled as popular enlightenment.

Abstract Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) attracted many legends. His nature in maturity was sour and ungenerous; he was jealous of contemporaries and ferociously competitive. In his interminable dispute with his Hanoverian contemporary Gottfried Leibniz over who had first hit on the differential calculus, he was ruthless to the point of dishonesty. At the end he exulted that he had finally ‘broken Leibniz’s heart’. John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal (1646-1719), and himself no easy character, was once heard to sigh: ‘I dreamt Newton was dead.’

In this chapter we will find a connection between this problem and the following seemingly disparate matters. In the sixth century B.C., the Pythagoreans discovered how to count the number of objects in triangular arrays of arbitrary size.

Abstract:
‘On the nature of stuff’ shows that the ability to control fire and temperature led to the first chemical technologies: the production of pottery from fired clays and tempers, metals, glass, and bitumen products. It goes on to describe the early speculation of matter by Greek philosophers, such as Empedocles and Aristotle, before discussing the history of alchemy in Europe and the Muslim empire. The same synonyms were often used for different substances resulting in confusion and secrecy. It was Isaac Newton (1642–1727) who compiled an index chemicus in an attempt to make sense of alchemical language and allegory. The demise of alchemy, the move from chymistry to chemistry, and the rise of modern chemistry are also considered.
