Isaac Newton fut le premier à expliquer la cause des mouvements des planètes et des comètes: c'est la gravitation universelle qui crée les forces nécessaires pour que ces astres se déplacent sur des orbites elliptiques autour du Soleil. Newton publia son travail en 1687 dans les Philosophiæ naturalis principia mathematica, son œuvre maîtresse. Il les augmenta en 1713 puis en 1726.Deux siècles plus tard, en 1915, Albert Einstein montre que les planètes se déplacent librement sur des orbites qui sont en fait des géodésiques d'un espace-temps, déformé par la présence de la masse du Soleil: la gravitation est alors la courbure de cet espace-temps. La théorie de la relativité générale d'Einstein explique un très grand nombre de phénomènes observés aujourd'hui dans l'Univers à grande échelle.À l'occasion du centenaire de la théorie d'Einstein, nous publions une nouvelle édition des Principes mathématiques de la philosophie naturelle, traduction du latin en français des Principia par Émilie Du Châtelet, œuvre posthume publiée en 1759, dix ans après sa mort. Avec un important apparat critique, notre édition présente une transcription fidèle de son manuscrit, puis complète et corrige cette publication historique.

We have grown accustomed to the idea that scientific theories are embedded in their place and time. But in the case of the development of mathematical physics in eighteenth-century France, the relationship was extremely close. In Before Voltaire, J.B. Shank shows that although the publication of Isaac Newton's Principia in 1687 exerted strong influence, the development of calculus-based physics is better understood as an outcome that grew from French culture in general. Before Voltaire explores how Newton's ideas made their way not just through the realm of French science, but into the larger world of society and culture of which Principia was an intertwined part. Shank also details a history of the beginnings of calculus-based mathematical physics that integrates it into the larger intellectual currents in France at the time, including the Battle of the Ancients and the Moderns, the emergence of wider audiences for science, and the role of the newly reorganized Royal Academy of Sciences. The resulting book offers an unprecedented cultural history of one the most important and influential elements of Enlightenment science.
