Book Synopsis The Foundations of Newton's Alchemy by : B. J. T. Dobbs
Book excerpt: This book sets the foundations of Newton's alchemy in their historical context in Restoration England. It is shown that alchemical modes of thought were quite strong in many of those who provided the dynamism for the scientific revolution of the seventeenth century and that these modes of thought had important relationships with general movements for reform in the same period.
