«El Sistema del Mundo» is Isaac Newton's treatise on natural philosophy, published by Sarpe in 1984 in hardback (174 pages, in Spanish).
The treatise is organized into four thematic sections on the motion of the stars around the Sun and the forces that explain it, with accessible language and little mathematics. Conceived as a popularizing complement to the Principia, the work sets out the system of the world and the foundations of universal gravitation.
This edition is part of Sarpe's «Los Grandes Pensadores» collection (volume 27). The original text was published posthumously in 1728.
For readers interested in the history of science and in popularizing Newtonian physics without needing to master mathematics.
Sir Isaac Newton was an English polymath who was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, author and inventor. He was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment that followed. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, achieved the first great unification in physics and established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for formulating infinitesimal calculus, although he developed calculus years before Leibniz. Newton contributed to and refined the scientific method, and his work is considered the most influential in bringing forth modern science.
