Re-interpretation of Newton in light of quantum mechanics and relativity are part and parcel of scientific revolution according to Kuhn. Science weaves a narrative of progress. The extreme example, and the subject of Kuhn&#x27;s earlier work was the Copernican revolution: we still get the heliocentric model presented as an astronomical refinement not a form of heresy. The standard science narrative doesn&#x27;t see Newton through his own eyes, as principally a theologian, either: he spent a lot of effort trying to prove the existence of god [so did Descartes despite <i>Discourse on Method</i>].<p>None of this is to downplay their intellectual contributions. It is only to illustrate Kuhn&#x27;s assertion that science constantly redefines past literature as continuous with incompatible contemporary beliefs: any interpretation of Newton&#x27;s work orthogonally to the existence of god does not accurately depict his views.
