Apart from the .Institutions Physiques. they deal with Emilie du Châtelet‘s annotated translation of Isaac Newton‘s .Principia...The chapters presented here collectively demonstrate that her work was an essential contribution to the mediation between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of science.. |
