Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principia, or the First Principles of Natural Things, Vol. 1: To Which Are Added the Minor Principia and Summary of the Principia
As I have said elsewhere 1 Descartes' philosophy, moreover, led to dualism - to an unbridgeable gulf between mind and matter, between Nature and Spirit, between the finite and the Infinite. Swedenborg saw this, as Leibnitz did fifty years earlier. Leibnitz derived all matter from infinitely minute points or enamels, each of which mirrored a phase of the universe, of the mind of God, between whom and the sum of created monads, which. Made up nature, Leibnitz held there existed a pre-establish'ed harmony.

The Principia, or the First Principles of Natural Things, Vol. 1
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating exploration of the origins and structure of the universe, diving deep into the nature of matter and motion. The author, a brilliant mind who was both a scientist and a philosopher, delves into the theories of earlier thinkers like Descartes and Leibnitz, while also drawing upon his own extensive research in areas such as astronomy, geology, and magnetism. He challenges the conventional wisdom of his time, which relied heavily on the authority of theologians and the teachings of Aristotle, by proposing a novel cosmology grounded in scientific observation and mathematical reasoning. He argues that the universe, rather than being static, is a dynamic and evolving entity, driven by the forces of motion emanating from an ultimate, infinite source. The author boldly tackles the age-old question of how the universe came into being and how seemingly complex structures arise from simple beginnings. His ideas, while presented in a language that might seem archaic to modern readers, are refreshingly bold and imaginative, foreshadowing some of the major breakthroughs in the fields of physics and cosmology that would come centuries later. This book stands as a testament to the enduring power of intellectual curiosity and the enduring pursuit of understanding the vast and intricate universe in which we live. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332289127_0
