Synopsis

In 1936, following the sale of Newton's unpublished manuscripts at auction, the scientific world was shocked: it turned out that Newton's writings in physics and mathematics, often considered the foundations of modern science, were only a fragment of his writings, most of which were focused on theology and alchemy. In this study of Newton's work and thought, Irena stepanova argues for a Newton who was not the man of cold reason we know, but a "priest-scientist" with the life-long intention of carrying out an examination of God himself, as he revealed himself in both the world and in scriptural writings.
