Grounds of Natural Philosophy: Divided into Thirteen Parts The Second Edition, much altered from the First, which went under the Name of Philosophical and Physical Opinions

"Grounds of Natural Philosophy: Divided into Thirteen Parts" by Margaret Cavendish Newcastle is a 17th-century exploration of the natural world, contemplating matter, motion, and life. The book presents Newcastle's philosophical arguments concerning the structure of the physical world. She begins by inviting European universities to constructively critique her ideas, though she lacks formal training. She also notes the revisions made since the first edition of her work. Early chapters establish essential ideas, like matter's definitions and dynamics to motion. This creates a base for examinations of perception, living things and how they're made up.
