NEWTONIAN philosophy, the doctrine 
of the Universe, and particularly of the 
Heavenly bodies ; their laws, atfections, 
&c. as delivered by Sir Isaac Newton. 
The term Newtonian philosophy is applied 
very differently by different authors. Some 
under this philosophy include all the Cor- 
puscular philosophy, considered as it now 
stands corrected and reformed by the dis- 
coveries and improvements made in the 
several parts thereof by Sir Isaac Newton. 
In tliis sense it is that ’s Gravesaude calls 
his Elements of Physics, an Introduction 
to the Newtonian philosophy; and in this 
sense, the Newtonian is the same with the 
new philosophy, in opposition to the Carte- 
sian, the Peripatetic, and the ancient Cor- 
puscular philosophy. Others, by Newto- 
nian philosophy, mean the method or order 
which Sir Isaac observes in philosophizing, 
viz. the reasoning and drawing of conclu- 
sions directly from phenomena, exclusive of 
all previous hypotheses ; the beginning from 
simple principles, deducing the first pow- 
ers and laws of nature from a few select 
phenomena, and then applying those laws, 
&c. to account for other things ; and in this 
sense the Newtonian is the same with Ex- 
perimental philosophy. Others again, by 
Newtonian philosophy, mean that wherein 
physical bodies are considered mathema- 
tically, and where geometry and mechanics 
are applied to the solution of phenomena; 
in which sense tlie N ewtonian is the same
