I address a question recently raised by Simon Saunders concerning the relationship between the space-time structure of Newton-Cartan theory and that of what I will call “Maxwell-Huygens space-time.” This discussion will also clarify a connection between Saunders’s work and a recent paper by Eleanor Knox.

Using as a starting point recent and apparently incompatible conclusions by Saunders ([2013]) and Knox ([2014]), I revisit the question of the correct spacetime setting for Newtonian physics. I argue…

On Gravitational Energy in Newtonian Theories
There are well-known problems associated with the idea of (local) gravitational energy in general relativity. We offer a new perspective on those problems by comparison with Newtonian gravitation,…
Are Newtonian Gravitation and Geometrized Newtonian Gravitation Theoretically Equivalent?
I argue that a criterion of theoretical equivalence due to Glymour (Noûs 11(3):227–251, 1977) does not capture an important sense in which two theories may be equivalent. I then motivate and state an…
