Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-04 00:00:00 Narinde Mafzi Catalog of an exhibit at the NYPL showcasing the pervasive influence Newton had in sometimes unexpected arenas. He supplanted Descartes as the western world's leading intellectual early in his career although there were still defenders of the frenchman's cosmic vortices despite Newton's firmer mathematical footing with his discovery of gravity. Descartes came up with his metaphysical notions first and then worked to construct their foundation whereas Newton famously looked at the world around him to develop his explanations both regarding local and planetary motion and optics. Also touched on the battle between Newton and his defenders and Leipzig and his as to who invented the calculus. Learned new information about girls and women and how they took up the craze for all things scientific in the 18th c. but were frequently treated in a condescending manner and belittled but some still managed to break through and demonstrate real talent and insight, usually those who didn't have brothers and with fathers who encouraged them. Jefferson and Franklin were big admirers and Jefferson was in possession of one of Newton's death masks. One complaint, the reproductions of the art were not the best in this paperback edition.
