I am not anthropmorphizing science, let alone accusing it of anything. Instead, I am explaining Kuhn&#x27;s work [or at least my reading of it]. However useful it may be to partition Newton&#x27;s work into mechanics and cosmology, its our partitioning, not Newton&#x27;s. The &quot;General Scholium&quot; [1] was one of the improvements Newton made to the first edition of <i>Principia</i> in the two decades between first and second editions. There are sociological reasons why students of science are not encouraged to read Newton for themselves.<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gravitee.tripod.com&#x2F;genschol.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gravitee.tripod.com&#x2F;genschol.htm</a>
