Introduction
1 Re-disciplining "Occult Qualities": Mechanics and the Mixed Mathematical Sciences
?1.1?Being "Skilled in 'Catoptrics'?"
?1.2?Testing a Body of "Astronomical Hypotheses"
?1.3?Dismissing "Idle Imaginings"
?1.4?Creating the "Unheard-of Paradox"
2 Manifesting "Occult Causes": Empirical Investigations and Experimental Philosophy
?2.1?The Physician's Pathway
?2.2?The Baconian Method
?2.3?Occult Causes; Manifest Effects
?2.4?The "Physico-Mathematicall-Experimentall" Programme
3 Employing the Occult Powers of the Lodestone and Orbital Motions
?3.1?Gilbert's Magnetism
?3.2?Magnetism and Gravity
?3.3?Approaches to Orbital Motions
4 Exploring Hidden Qualities of Matter: "vis activa"
?4.1?Matter Emits (Magnetical) Effluvia
?4.2?Matter Vibrates and So Does Aether
?4.3?Matter Attracts and Repels
5 Reintroducing "Occult Qualities" into Natural Philosophy? Newton's Approaches to Physics
?5.1?Early Immersion in the Mixed Mathematical Programme
?5.2?The Inimitable Newtonian Methodology: Dynamics
