The Newton Letter
Isaac Newton, suffering some sort of mental breakdown, mysterious to this day, wrote that letter to John Locke, on September 16, 1693. Rumors about Newton were rife at that time. It was said that a fire had destroyed his papers and he went mad. He became obsessed with sex, and had sexual dreams that he found troubling. In the past, he had sent Locke long letters before, they were great debaters, but nothing that comes close to the strangeness of this particular letter. The intimacy of it, the pain, the torment … Newton wrote some other odd letters around this terrible time in his life, but it’s the Locke one everyone remembers.
