Enter the mind that helped invent the modern world. These pages changed modern thought. Volume VI of The Works of Francis Bacon, Baron of Verulam, Viscount St. Alban, and Lord High Chancellor of England gathers classic philosophical writings in which Bacon advances his programme for knowledge, reform and governance. Blending renaissance natural philosophy with penetrating political and legal thought, this philosophical works collection reveals the atmosphere of seventeenth century England, shaped by the waning of the Elizabethan Jacobean era and the dawn of early modern science. As an early modern philosophy anthology, it illuminates the origins of the scientific method, the disciplines of empirical inquiry and the intellectual background that would later inform Locke and Hobbes philosophy. A vital text for philosophy students and an enduring reference for scholars, this volume showcases the breadth of the works of Francis Bacon: from reflections on law and statecraft to meditations on nature, experiment and human understanding. Readers of history, politics and ideas gain a rare window onto the foundations of modern rationality and the transformation of learning that still underpins contemporary thought. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
