Description

1786 Voltaire on Isaac NEWTON Philosophy Optics Physics Illustrated

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” ― Voltaire

While Voltaire was in exile from Great Britain, he became strongly influenced by the works of Isaac Newton. Voltaire strongly believed in Newton's theories, especially concerning optics and gravity. This prompted Voltaire to write a book entitled ‘Elements of Newton’s Philosophy’, which made Newton accessible to a far greater public.

This tome, from the complete works of Voltaire, is illustrated with 14 full-page figures depicting various aspects of Newtonian philosophy, optics, and physics. Complete in one volume.
