telet was one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her writings on natural philosophy, physics and mechanics had a decisive impact on the important scientific debates of the 18th century.
Most notably, she took a novel and distinctive position in one of the fundamental scientific discourses of the day, the controversy between Newton and Leibniz.
The contributors to this volume focus on du Ch
telet's synthesis of Newtonian and Leibnitian philosophy. The contributions presented here combine to confirm the work of this exceptional philosopher as an essential contribution to the mediation between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of science.
Emilie du Ch
telet was one of the most influential woman philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her writings on natural philosophy, physics, and mechanics had a decisive impact on important scientific debates of the 18th century. Particularly, she took an innovative and outstanding position in the controversy between Newton and Leibniz, one of the fundamental scientific discourses of that time.
The contributions in this volume focus on this "Leibnitian turn". They analyze the nature and motivation of Emilie du Ch
telet's synthesis of Newtonian and Leibnitian philosophy. Apart from the Institutions Physiques they deal with Emilie du Ch
telet's annotated translation of Isaac Newton's Principia.
The chapters presented here collectively demonstrate that her work was an essential contribution to the mediation between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of science.

"This is a valuable collection, focusing on Madame du Châtelet as a serious contributor to both eighteenth-century science and philosophy. Anyone who is interested in studying her ideas in the context of eighteenth-century European mathematics, science, and philosophy should become familiar with its contents." (Judith V. Grabiner, AWM Newsletter, Vol. 43 (3), May-June, 2013)"Hagengruber's collection of essays provides the most comprehensive coverage of Châtelet's work currently available. ... the bibliographies of primary and secondary works are exhaustive, and the introductory essay by Ruth Hagengruber is a good introduction to Châtelet. ... this is a very worthwhile collection, and for those coming to Châtelet for the first time, the introductory essay and the bibliographies will prove invaluable." (Stephen Gaukroger, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXII (4), 2012)
