The Metaphysical World of Isaac Newton by John Chambers
Newtons heretical writings on theology, spirituality, alchemy, and prophecy, uncovered and analyzed.
John Chambers has undertaken the valuable task of reemphasizing that a father of modern science had an open mind where alchemy was concerned and that Isaac Newton’s efforts to show a scientific rationale in the structure of the cosmos was driven by a desire to demonstrate as well as reveal it as the expression of divine intelligence, mystical but rationally intelligible, and not an accident of random numbers subject to chanceNewton was looking seriously for meaning, something modern scientists often consider beyond their remit.” * Tobias Churton, author of Aleister Crowley in America *
“Remarkably researched, exceptionally well-written, and extremely important, this book gives a much-needed glimpse into the mystical side of one of the West’s greatest minds. It also serves as an urgent reminder that science cannot be divorced from the spirit.” * Richard Smoley, author of Forbidden Faith: The Secret History of Gnosticism *
"In this detailed book, the late academic Chambers (1939-2017) takes readers into the strange spiritual and occult world of Isaac Newton (1643-1727). Newton, known primarily as a physicist, a mathematician, and the author of Principia Mathematica, also practiced alchemy, researched prophetic biblical notions, and wrote extensively on theology and religion.The book is aimed squarely at Newton fans, who will be delighted by Chambers’s insightful, thorough investigation." * Publisher's Weekly *
"Though I have studied both theology and philosophy through my academic career and practice astrology professionally, I was consistently bombarded with new information about all of these topics. Chambers, who unfortunately has passed since this book was published, has done a tremendous job of documenting his historical research and bringing it together for a cohesive and insight look into the theological studies of Newton. I highly recommend The Metaphysical World of Isaac Newton for anyone interested in ancient history, science, astronomy, alchemy or theology." * Alanna Kali, Spiral Nature Magazine *
