Not only was he a religious fanatic but Newton was also an all-round dunderhead obsessed with all manner of primitive fantasies and he ...

Insofar as science is concerned, philosophy has nothing to say, provides zero input and only commentary after the fact. This is not the way it used to be but nothing is the way it used to be.
