THE UNKNOWN NEWTON
THE UNKNOWN NEWTON

Summary/Abstract: Isaac Newton’s scientific legacy is well-known. What’s less well-known is that he was a staunch, though unorthodox, Christian, an alchemist, theologian, and Church historian. These facets of Newton’s life and work often seem at odds with our perception of the genius behind the calculus and universal gravitation. In five articles, by leading scholars in the field, the editors of this symposium seek to unveil this “unknown Newton”. In doing so, a much more coherent picture of Newton’s intellectual life emerges.
