Each volume of this series of companions to major philosophers contains specially commissioned essays by an international team of scholars. New readers will find this the most convenient and accessible guide to Bacon available, and specialists will find a conspectus of recent developments in the interpretation of Bacon.
Francis Bacon (1561–1626) is one of the most important figures of the early modern era. His plan for scientific reform played a central role in the birth of the new science. The essays in this volume offer a comprehensive survey of his writings on science, including his classifications of sciences, his theory of knowledge and of forms, his speculative philosophy, his idea of cooperative scientific research and the providential aspects of Baconian science. There are also essays on Bacon's theory of rhetoric and history as well as on his moral and political philosophy and on his legacy. Throughout, the contributors aim to place Bacon in his historical context.
