'''''Principles of Philosophy''''' (''Principia philosophiae'') was written in Latin by René Descartes. Published in 1644, it set forth the principles of nature--the Laws of Physics--as Descartes viewed them. It was primarily intended to replace the Aristotelian curriculum then used in French and British Universities. Descartes's use of the word "philosophy" in the title refers to "natural philosophy," which is what science was called at that time.
