Principia Mathematica , written in just 18 months of intense labour, is the foundation stone both of our world view and of modern scientific method. With an introduction by Stephen Hawking, this edition uses the renowned translation by Bernard Cohen, Anne Whitman and Julia Bunenz, which makes the original text fully accessible to the modern reader. The accompanying volume, A Guide to the Principia Mathematica, also by Cohen, will provide everything the reader could wish for to understand Newton’s principles and to place the original work in context.
