About the book
A work by Newton published posthumously, comprising his writings on cosmology, celestial physics and the mathematical principles governing the universe. The text consolidates and expands upon the ideas presented in the Principia, offering a systematic view of the Newtonian cosmos in more accessible language.
A fundamental document for understanding how modern Western science conceived the structure and workings of the universe, marking the transition from an Aristotelian view to a mechanistic approach based on universal mathematical laws.
