THE PHILOSOPHICAL NEWTON
When Newton is referring to his works, he usually speaks about “my
Philosophy.” The reader who opens the third edition of the Principia is announced

Moreover, eighteenth-century expositions of the Newtonian achievements –
whether by Henry Pemberton, Colin MacLaurin or Voltaire – are always claiming to
present “Newton’s Philosophy.”
