I think what I'm saying is that Newton is remembered for his discoveries and inventions, not for his publicity campaigns.

- akiselev 14y agoHe is remembered for his discoveries which were confirmed by hundreds of years of experimentation. As a person he should be judged holistically, and that includes his affinity for the occult. If he were to be a professor of Stanford today, his beliefs on the supernatural should be taken into consideration and viewed as a lack of intellectual integrity(although with all that we know now versus what humanity knew during his time, his stance would most likely be different today).
