(Stephen Gaukroger, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXII (4), 2012) Long Description Emilie du Chtelet was one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment. Her writings on natural philosophy, physics and mechanics had a decisive impact on the important scientific debates of the 18th century. Most notably, she took a novel and distinctive position in one of the fundamental scientific discourses of the day, the controversy between Newton and Leibniz. The contributors to this volume focus on du Chtelets synthesis of Newtonian and Leibnitian philosophy. The contributions presented here combine to confirm the work of this exceptional philosopher as an essential contribution to the mediation between empiricist and rationalist positions in the history of science. Review Quote "The aim of milie du Chtelet between Leibniz and Newton is to make the intellectual strength of milie du Chtelet apparent and to facilitate a better understanding of the singularity of her work. ... this book offers not only an important contribution to the literature on milie du Chtelet, but also insight into the philosophy of science." (Robyn Arianrhod, The Mathematical Intellingencer, October, 2016) "This is a valuable collection, focusing on Madame du Chtelet as a serious contributor to both eighteenth-century science and philosophy. Anyone who is interested in studying her ideas in the context of eighteenth-century European mathematics, science, and philosophy should become familiar with its contents." (Judith V. Grabiner, AWM Newsletter, Vol. 43 (3), May-June, 2013) "Hagengrubers collection of essays provides the most comprehensive coverage of Chtelets work currently available. ... the bibliographies of primary and secondary works are exhaustive, and the introductory essay by Ruth Hagengruber is a good introduction to Chtelet. ... this is a very worthwhile collection, and for those coming to Chtelet for the first time, the introductory essay and the bibliographies will prove invaluable."
