Isaac Newton's Alchemical Studies

Isaac Newton's alchemical studies: the influences of theology, philosophy, experimentation and textual interpretation on his work. Out of all Isaac Newton's myriad interests, alchemy appears to have been his passion. His famous works on optics, mechanics and mathematics were mere side-thoughts in comparison to the thirty years he spent on alchemy. He read hundreds of alchemical texts and wrote more than one million words in his notebooks. I will conclude that Newton cannot be seen as any less scientific or reasonable simply because he is a product of the time in which he lived. Newton's alchemical work is an important document in the history of science and also of history in general, for it encompasses theology, science and philosophy.
