RESUMEN: El propósito de este artículo es, de un lado, esclarecer los usos por parte de Newton del concepto de Ley Natural (LN), a la luz de los problemas y tradiciones disponibles para él –principalmente, del cartesianismo, las filosofías experimentales inglesas y las tradiciones mágicas y alquímicas– y, de otro lado, señalar las transformaciones que realiza sobre este concepto de raíz cartesiana en sus dos principales obras –los Principia y la Opticks. Como conclusión de lo anterior, mostraré que este concepto de LN permite afirmar como una “cuestión de hecho” la existencia de las entidades postuladas en las LN, aunque se desconozcan sus propiedades o cualidades o incluso su causa. Aspectos importantes de este concepto de LN se identifican tradicionalmente como legado de la revolución científica y, por tanto, su aplicación retrospectiva a Galileo, Kepler o Boyle, entre otros, constituye una clara indicación del anacronismo que resulta de la carencia de estudios históricos sobre el concepto de LN; su esclarecimiento permite, de otro lado, arrojar luces sobre la expansión y desarrollo del newtonianismo en el siglo XVIII.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is double, to clarify the uses by Newton's concept of Natural Law (LN), in the light of the problems and traditions available to him, mainly Cartesian, the English experimental philosophies and alchemical - magic and traditions and, on the other hand, point out the transformations performed on this concept of Cartesian rooted in its two major Works -the Principia and Opticks. In conclusion, I will show that this concept of LN can say as a "matter of fact" the existence of the entities postulated in LN, although their properties or qualities or even cause is not yet known. Important aspects of this concept of LN are traditionally identified as a legacy of the scientific revolution and therefore retrospective to Galileo, Kepler and Boyle, among others, this application is a clear indication of anachronism resulting from the lack of historical studies above LN concept; additionally, its clarification allows shed light on the expansion and development of Newtonianism in the eighteenth century.
