English abstract

The interpretation of Isaac Newton's texts has raised many controversies to this day. One of the most heated debates is related to the action between two bodies at a distance from each other (gravitational attraction), and to what extent Newton involved God in this case. Basically, most works discuss four types of gravitational attractions in the case of bodies at a distance: direct action at a distance as an intrinsic property of bodies in the Epicurean sense; direct action at a distance divinely mediated by God; action at a distance mediated through a material ether; or action at a distance mediated through an immaterial ether.

Romanian abstract

Interpretarea textelor lui Isaac Newton a suscitat numeroase controverse, până în zilele noastre. Una din cele mai aprinse dezbateri este legată de acțiunea între două corpuri aflate la distanță unul de celălalt (atracția gravitațională), și în ce măsură Newton a implicat pe Dumnezeu în acest caz. Practic, majoritatea lucrărilor discută patru tipuri de atracții gravitaționale în cazul corpurilor aflate la distanță: acțiunea la distanță directă ca proprietate intrinsecă a corpurilor în sens epicurian; acțiunea la distanță directă mediată divin, de Dumnezeu; acțiunea la distanță mediată printr-un eter material; sau acțiunea la distanță mediată printr-un eter imaterial.
