Book synopsis

Emilie du Châtelet was one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her writings on natural philosophy, physics and mechanics had a decisive impact on the important scientific debates of the 18th century.§Most notably, she took a novel and distinctive position in one of the fundamental scientific discourses of the day, the controversy between Newton and Leibniz.§The contributors to this volume focus on du Châtelet's synthesis of Newtonian and Leibnitian philosophy. The contributions presented here combine to confirm the work of this exceptional philosopher as an essential contribution to the mediation between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of science.
