Le manuscrit « Tempus et locus ». L’espace newtonien et la prisca theologia by Clémence Sadaillan

“…Our aim is to show that this little-known manuscript requires a re-examination of any positivist interpretation of the concept of absolute space as this was simultaneously being developed in the first edition of the De Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica. This article shows the importance of theological issues to Newton’s conceptualisation of space, highlighting their presence in all of Newton’s scientific work.…”

Russell And Frege On The Logic of Functions by Bernard Linsky

“…I compare Russell’s theory of mathematical functions, the “descriptive functions” from Principia Mathematica ∗30, with Frege’s well known account of functions as “unsaturated” entities. …”

The Digital and the Real Universe Foundations of Natural Philosophy and Computational Physics by Klaus Mainzer

“…This example underlines that modern physics, in the tradition of Newton’s Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis, is a further development of natural philosophy with the rigorous methods of mathematics, measuring, and computing. …”

The Problem of Generalities. Carnap and Kaufmann in Comparison (1928-1934) by Felice Masi

“…That is two of the central issues in the discussions of the Vienna Circle, one related to the confrontation with Tractatus, the other to that with Principia Mathematica. Through the difference between generalities, Kaufmann brings Husserlian theories of abstraction and concept into Vienna. …”

British Physico-Theological Poetry and Newtonian Physics by Burgio, Benedetta

“…Newton was the most prominent and influential among the natural philosophers whose thought contributed to the scientific revolution and his work altered dramatically the way in which the universe was understood. His Principia Mathematica (1687) crowned the new tradition of physico-mathematics and contributed to shaping the new trend in natural theology known as physico-theology. …”

How to Complete Quantum Mechanics, or, What It’s Like to Be a Naturally Creative Bohmian Beable by Robert Hanna

“…In another essay, I’ve argued by means of a formal analogy between (i) the incompleteness of Principia Mathematica-style systems of mathematical logic (logico-mathematical incompleteness) and (ii) the incompleteness of the Standard Models in contemporary physics (physico-mechanical incompleteness), that (iii) just as the fact of logico-mathematical incompleteness entails the existence of mathematical creativity, so too the fact of physico-mechanical incompleteness entails the existence of natural creativity. …”

“Surveyability” in Hilbert, Wittgenstein and Turing by Juliet Floyd

“…Wittgenstein’s 1939 investigations of the significance of surveyability to the concept of “proof “in <i>Principia Mathematica</i> were influenced, both by Turing’s remarkable everyday analysis of the Hilbertian idea, and by conversations with Turing. …”

Newtonian boreal forest ecology: The Scots pine ecosystem as an example. by Pertti Hari, Tuomas Aakala, Juho Aalto, Jaana Bäck, Jaakko Hollmén, Kalev Jõgiste, Kourosh Kabiri Koupaei, Mika A Kähkönen, Mikko Korpela, Liisa Kulmala, Eero Nikinmaa, Jukka Pumpanen, Mirja Salkinoja-Salonen, Pauliina Schiestl-Aalto, Asko Simojoki, Mikko Havimo

“…Isaac Newton's approach to developing theories in his book Principia Mathematica proceeds in four steps. First, he defines various concepts, second, he formulates axioms utilising the concepts, third, he mathematically analyses the behaviour of the system defined by the concepts and axioms obtaining predictions and fourth, he tests the predictions with measurements. …”

Understanding and ad hoc Explanation: A Case of Russell’s Reducibility Axiom by V. V. Tselishchev, A. V. Khlebalin

“…The article examines the common interpretation of the axiom of reducibility in Principia Mathematica according to which the axiom cannot be considered as logical, which casts doubt on the success of the program of logicism. …”

Informowanie o wyprawie wojennej w końcu XVII w. – przypadek Johanna Reyera i kampanii krymskiej 1689 roku by Krzysztof Kwiatkowski

“…It was the time of Reyer’s generation when the beginnings of the rationalization breakthrough were depicted, which stood at the basis of critical, systematic and coherence-oriented view of the world – it was Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz’s (* 1646, † 1716) generation, with whom Reyer exchanged letters, and Izaak Newton’s (* 1742, † 1727), who in the year of the first Crimean campaign (1687) just published his ground-breaking Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica, which was the core for the so-called modern scientific revolution. …”
