Robert Boyle (1627-1691), membre fondateur de la Royal Society de Londres, est une figure emblématique de la philosophie anglaise moderne. Héritier de Bacon et des alchimistes, celui qui aimait se donner le nom de Sceptical Chymist ou de Christian Virtuoso entremêle expériences de laboratoire et discours apologétiques. A travers ses débats avec Hobbes, More, Huygens ou Spinoza, son principal souci reste de mettre la méthode expérimentale au service des théories mécanistes : Boyle contribue ainsi largement aux progrès scientifiques et techniques de l’âge classique. On redécouvre aujourd’hui l’originalité de sa « philosophie naturelle ». Le présent volume, réunissant des contributions de spécialistes internationaux, propose ainsi pour la première fois en France une étude complète de cette œuvre éclectique et complexe.

This book presents a new view of Robert Boyle (1627-91), the leading British scientist in the generation before Newton. It comprises a series of essays by scholars from Europe and North America which scrutinise Boyle's writings on science, philosophy and theology in detail, bringing out the subtlety of his ideas and the complexity of his relationship with his context. Particular attention is given to Boyle's interest in alchemy and to other facets of his ideas which might initially seen surprising in a leading advocate of the mechanical philosophy. Many of the essays use material from among Boyle's extensive manuscripts, which have recently been catalogued for the first time. The introduction surveys the state of Boyle studies and deploys the findings of the essays to offer a revaluation of Boyle. The book also includes a bibliography of writings on Boyle since 1940.

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) left a voluminous legacy of writings. Despite his influence on the early modern period, his correspondence, manuscripts, and publications in natural philosophy remain scattered throughout many disparate editions. In this volume, Newton's principal philosophical writings are for the first time collected in a single place. They include excerpts from the Principia and the Opticks, his famous correspondence with Boyle and with Bentley, and his equally significant correspondence with Leibniz, which is often ignored in favor of Leibniz's later debate with Samuel Clarke. Newton's exchanges with Leibniz place their different understandings of natural philosophy in sharp relief. The volume also includes 'De Gravitatione', offered here in a corrected translation, which is crucial for understanding Newton's relation to his great predecessor Descartes. In a historical and philosophical introduction, Andrew Janiak examines Newton's philosophical positions and his relations to canonical figures in early modern philosophy.
