While Francis Bacon continues to be considered the 'father' of modern experimental science, his writings are no longer given close attention by most historians and philosophers of science, let alone by scientists themselves. In this new book Dennis Desroches speaks up loudly for Bacon, showing how we have yet to surpass the fundamental theoretical insights that he offered towards producing scientific knowledge. The book first examines the critics who have led many generations of scholars - in fields as diverse as literary criticism, science studies, feminism, philosophy and history - to think of Bacon as an outmoded landmark in the history of ideas rather than a crucial thinker for our own day. Bacon's own work is seen to contain the best responses to these various forms of attack. Desroches then focuses on Bacon's Novum Organum, The Advancement of Learning and De Augmentis, in order to discern the theoretical - rather than simply the empirical or utilitarian - nature of his programme for the 'renovation' of the natural sciences. The final part of the book draws startling links between Bacon and one of the twentieth century's most important historians/philosophers of science, Thomas Kuhn, discerning in Kuhn's work a reprise of many of Bacon's fundamental ideas - despite Kuhn's clear attempt to reject Bacon as a significant contributor to the way we think about scientific practice today. Desroches concludes, then, that Bacon was not simply the 'father' of modern science - he is still in the process of 'fathering' it.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626), commonly regarded as one of the founders of the Scientific Revolution, exerted a powerful influence on the intellectual development of the modern world. He also led a remarkably varied and dramatic life as a philosopher, writer, lawyer, courtier, and statesman. Although there has been much recent scholarship on individual aspects of Bacon's career, Perez Zagorin's is the first work in many years to present a comprehensive account of the entire sweep of his thought and its enduring influence. Combining keen scholarly and psychological insights, Zagorin reveals Bacon as a man of genius, deep paradoxes, and pronounced flaws. The book begins by sketching Bacon's complex personality and troubled public career. Zagorin shows that, despite his idealistic philosophy and rare intellectual gifts, Bacon's political life was marked by continual careerism in his efforts to achieve advancement. He follows Bacon's rise at court and describes his removal from his office as England's highest judge for taking bribes. Zagorin then examines Bacon's philosophy and theory of science in connection with his project for the promotion of scientific progress, which he called "The Great Instauration." He shows how Bacon's critical empiricism and attempt to develop a new method of discovery made a seminal contribution to the growth of science. He demonstrates Bacon's historic importance as a prophetic thinker, who, at the edge of the modern era, predicted that science would be used to prolong life, cure diseases, invent new materials, and create new weapons of destruction. Finally, the book examines Bacon's writings on such subjects as morals, politics, language, rhetoric, law, and history. Zagorin shows that Bacon was one of the great legal theorists of his day, an influential philosopher of language, and a penetrating historian. Clearly and beautifully written, the book brings out the richness, scope, and greatness of Bacon's work and draws together the many, colorful threads of an extraordinarily brilliant and many-sided mind.

This study re-evaluates the religious beliefs of Francis Bacon and the role which his theology played in the development of his program for the reform of learning and the natural sciences, the Great Instauration. Bacon's Instauration writings are saturated with theological statements and Biblical references which inform and explain his program, yet this aspect of his writings has received little attention. Previous considerations of Bacon's religion have been drawn from a fairly short list of his published writings. Consequently, Bacon has been portrayed as everything from an atheist to a Puritan; scholarly consensus is lacking. This book argues that by considering the historical context of Bacon's society, and his conversion from Puritanism to anti-Calvinism as a young man, his own theology can be brought into clearer focus, and his philosophy more properly understood. After leaving his mother's household, Bacon underwent a transformation of belief which led him away from his mother's Calvinism and toward the writings of the ancient Church Fathers, particularly Irenaeus of Lyon. Bacon's theology increasingly came to reflect the theological interests of his friend and editor Lancelot Andrewes. The patristic turn of Bacon's belief in the last two decades of the reign of Elizabeth significantly affected the development of his philosophical program which was produced in the first two decades of the Stuart era. This study then examines the theology present in the Instauration writings themselves and concludes with a consideration of the effect which Bacon's theology had on the subsequent direction of empirical science and natural theology in the English context. In so doing it not only offers a new perspective on Bacon, but will serve as a contribution toward a better understanding of the religious context of, and motivations behind, empirical science in early modern England.

Excerpt from The Socialization of Humanity: An Analysis and Synthesis of the Phenomena of Nature, Life, Mind and Society Through the Law of Repetition; A System of Monistic Philosophy The world to-day morally is in the same condition as when Buddha of India came to preach a new salvation. Again the blind are leading the blind. It is in the same condition it was in when Jesus of Nazareth preached the Gospel of the Brotherhood of Man. Again unbelievers are putting reform ers to death for impiety. It is in the same condition as when Socrates of Athens taught men how to live. Again do the teachers of men fail to enter into the heaven of Orienta tion prepared for them by the ages and refuse to let anyone else enter; and as in the days of old they add intolerance to their conservatism by persecuting those who attempt to break the incrustations of the past to let the light of truth lead humanity to its ultimate goal. The world is in the same intellectual condition as when Francis Bacon wrote his incom parable works Novum Organum and the Advancement of Learning. To-day collegiate scholarship in the name of science clogs social progress, as in the days of Bacon, in the name of Classic Learning, it stemmed intellectual progress. The world is ripe for a true system of philosophy, for a right system of living. Unlike the world's passage from Polytheism to Mono theism, from Paganism to Christianity, from Feudalism to Capitalism heretofore made, the transition from Theology to Science, from Capitalism to Cooperation will be conscious. In our survey of nature we shall find that it makes no difference with the elements and energies 'of nature how an end is accomplished. And it makes no difference with society. Human perfection, for example, cannot be attained except through property. Primitive humanity did not have it and did not know how to produce it collectively. Hence the race, not being able to originate property by collective ownership, owing to lack of intelligence and morality, ceased to be social, forsook the social acquisition of property and permitted individual ownership because it was the only way open to primitive humanity whereby it could produce the necessary wealth for the highest human development. Even to-day with us wealth can best be produced and conserved by having the capital of the race controlled by individuals; society, despite our boasted intelligence and morality, can not do it, hence privileged classes still usurp this social function. But it will not always be so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
