Book Synopsis
Nothing is considered more natural than the connection between Isaac Newton's science and the modernity that came into being during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. This study challenges the claim that Isaac Newton's solitary genius is the reason for his iconic status as the father of modern physics and the philosophe movement.
