Notes

  1. Newton and Empiricism, 2. The editors thereby argue against scholars like Peter Anstey, who wants to replace the distinction between empiricism and rationalism, by the distinction between experimental and speculative philosophy. Cf. Newton and Empiricism, 3. This has been criticized by Walsh, a pupil of Anstey. Cf.: https://blogs.otago.ac.nz/emxphi/2014/10/newton-the-empiricist/ for one of the Editors replies see http://digressionsnimpressions.typepad.com/digressionsimpressions/2014/10/on-fetishizing-actors-categories.html.
