The Janus Faces of Genius: The Role of Alchemy in Newton's Thought
Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs
This major re-evaluation of Isaac Newton's intellectual life shows how his pioneering work in mathematics, physics, and cosmology was intertwined with his study of alchemy. Newton's work is interpreted as a constant attempt to bring together partial truths, with the larger goal of restoring true natural philosophy and true religion.
