“自然哲学”指的是物理学。牛顿爵士在本书中，传承了伽利略、开普勒和欧几里得《几何原本》等的工作，清晰地通过数学构建起了经典物理学的宏大框架，把人们对宇宙从宏观到微观的认知都统一起来，这不仅仅是自然科学认知的突破，也是哲学认知体系的突破。
"Natural philosophy" refers to the field of physics. In this book, Sir Isaac Newton built upon the work of Galileo, Kepler, and Euclid's "Elements of Geometry" to clearly construct the grand framework of classical physics using mathematics. This unified people's understanding of the universe from the macroscopic to the microscopic scale. This was not just a breakthrough in natural scientific knowledge, but also a breakthrough in the philosophical system of understanding.
