The essay aims to show how Newton’s scientific achievements are closely tied to his conception of philosophy—that is, to his method of inquiry. This method combined mathematics with experimentation, leading not only to a rethinking of natural philosophy and mathematics, but also to overcoming the classical distinction between the mathematical and physical sciences.

Abstract
The essay aims to show how Newton’s scientific achievements are closely tied to his conception of philosophy—that is, to his method of inquiry. This method combined mathematics with experimentation, leading not only to a rethinking of natural philosophy and mathematics, but also to overcoming the classical distinction between the mathematical and physical sciences.
