Bacons idea and Newtons practice of induction
Philosophica 76 (2) (2005)
Abstract
In this essay, I provide a Baconian reading of Newtons Principia. I argue that Newton scientific practice was influenced by Bacons methodised idea of induction. My focus will be on Newtons argument of universal gravitation.Author's Profile
