Isaac Newton è considerato uno dei più grandi scienziati mai esistiti, ma lo spettro dei suoi interessi fu molto più ampio di quello di uno scienziato a noi contemporaneo. Egli fu profondamente coinvolto in studi alchemici, fu un erudito studioso della Bibbia, della storia della Chiesa e delle antiche civiltà, e infine svolse un ruolo di primo piano nella politica, nell’economia e nella promozione della ricerca scientifica britanniche. Questa biografia intellettuale introduce all’opera di Newton in matematica, ottica, alchimia, meccanica e astronomia e al modo in cui egli vedeva queste discipline in relazione alla sua ricerca dei segreti più profondi dell’universo e della religione, collocando il grande filosofo della natura nel contesto travagliato dei dibattiti religiosi e politici che ebbero luogo durante la sua vita. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Isaac Newton is considered one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, but the spectrum of his interests was much broader than that of a contemporary scientist. He was deeply involved in alchemical studies, was a learned scholar of the Bible, the history of the Church and ancient civilizations, and ultimately played a leading role in British politics, economics and the promotion of scientific research. This intellectual biography introduces Newton's work in mathematics, optics, alchemy, mechanics and astronomy and the way he viewed these disciplines in relation to his search for the deepest secrets of the universe and religion, placing the great philosopher of nature in the troubled context of the religious and political debates that took place during his life.]
