Jewish theologies of space in the scientific revolution : Henry More, Joseph Raphson, Isaac Newton and their predecessor / Brian P. Copenhaver.
Abstract:
"One development in medieval Jewish thought of special interest for the development of the ideas of space was the rise of Cabala ... Both Henry More and, under More's influence, Joseph Raphson made use of Cabalist ideas in developing their own theologies of space. Isaac Newton was aware of these Jewish ideas but ... repudiated them, while making use of earlier rabbinic speculations of maqom (place)."
