In this monograph, Steffen Ducheyne provides a historically detailed and systematically rich
explication of Newton's methodology. Throughout the pages of this book, it will be shown …

Newton's methodology is significantly richer than the hypothetico-deductive model. It is
informed by a richer ideal of empirical success that requires not just accurate prediction but …

One central feature of Newton's methodology is the use of theory-mediated measurements
to make empirical phenomena carry information about causal dependencies. Accurate …

In this essay, I attempt to assess Henk de Regt and Dennis Dieks recent pragmatic and
contextual account of scientific understanding on the basis of an important historical case …

The problem with approximation is to find principled grounds for preferring any one over the
indefinitely many alternative approximations in equal agreement with observation. From the …

Several closely related methodological themes from Newton were central to the
transformation of natural philosophy into natural science as we now know it. These themes …
