‎ Reprinted edition, 1990 (first was 1976) "Contents, Chapitres : Contents, Preface to the reprinted edition, Acknowledgments, Abbreviation, Text, 288 pages - Introduction - Latidudinarian social theory and the new philosophy - The Church and the Revolution of 1688-1689 - The Millenium - The Church, Newton, and the founding of the Boyle lectureship - The Boyle lectures and the social meaning of Newtonianism - The opposition : Freethinkers - Enthusiasts - Appendix, bibliographical note, Index - Margaret Jacob (born 9 June 1943) is an American historian of science. Best known for her studies of Isaac Newton and the development of Western scientific thought, Jacob has also written about the politics of writing history. - Newton and Robert Boyle's approach to the mechanical philosophy was promoted by rationalist pamphleteers as a viable alternative to the pantheists and enthusiasts, and was accepted hesitantly by orthodox preachers as well as dissident preachers like the latitudinarians. The clarity and simplicity of science was seen as a way to combat the emotional and metaphysical superlatives of both superstitious enthusiasm and the threat of atheism, and at the same time, the second wave of English deists used Newton's discoveries to demonstrate the possibility of a ""Natural Religion"". The attacks made against pre-Enlightenment ""magical thinking"", and the mystical elements of Christianity, were given their foundation with Boyle's mechanical conception of the universe. Newton gave Boyle's ideas their completion through mathematical proofs and, perhaps more importantly, was very successful in popularising them.
