Matter (philosophy)Related: Newtonian mechanics gave renewed prominence to material bodies, motion, and forces.
Nicolas FlamelRelated: Newton’s alchemical papers show how seriously early modern scholars treated texts associated with Flamel.
Roger Joseph BoscovichCompared with: Boscovich drew on Newtonian mechanics while proposing a different foundation for matter.
Theoretical mechanicsRelated: His laws established the central force-based framework of classical mechanics.
Francesco AlgarottiRelated: Newton’s physics was the central body of knowledge Algarotti sought to popularize.
