Produktbeschreibung
Basing his monograph on newly discovered documents, Molina-Betancur compels us to appreciate the plurality of meanings that the term 'Newtonianism' could take. He achieves this by looking at the reception of Newton's ideas from the vantage point of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, rather than from a European perspective. This book not only sheds new light upon Celestino Mutis's intellectual world, but it is also an eye-opening contribution on rather broad issues concerning the relationships between science and empire.
