During the seventeenth century, a profound shift occurred: whereas space and its structure were not major subjects of philosophical analysis in the early part of the century, by 1800 they had become central to many debates. This shift was due to the influence of Leibniz and Newton: despite their famous disagreements, they agreed on the limitations of Cartesian natural philosophy and on the importance of analyzing space and its structure.
