Sir Isaac Newton s pre-eminence in the history of science remains ?xed, yet the picture which we have of the whole man, and of the in?uence of his wide-ranging intellect, has been changing rapidly as scholars have incre- ingly taken cognizance of those aspects of Newton s thought hitherto hidden in his unpublished manuscripts. At the start of the third millennium, we ?nd ourselves poised to launch the greatest revolution yet in Newton studies as an international team of scholars has been assembled to publish all of Newton s widely scattered unpublished papers.

The papers delivered at these conferences evolved into a series of important edited volumes whose general theme was the centrality of theological and religious ideas to Newton s intellectual formation. In the present volume, this longstanding project continues. Once again thanks to the th generosityofProfessorReillandtheresourcesoftheU. C. L. A.

Rezensionen
From the reviews of the first edition:

"The book is an outcome of the efforts of several eminent scholars who are committed to the long standing project of publishing all of Newton's widely scattered unpublished papers. These papers open up a new view on aspects of Newton's thoughts that were scarcely acknowledged hitherto ... . The essays of the collection elucidate either the current state of Newton studies or the seminal figure of Newton himself." (Karl-Heinz Schlote, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1081, 2006)
