Opis

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was a genuine midwife of modernity. He was one of the first thinkers to visualize a future that would be guided by a cooperative science-based vision of bettering human welfare. In this the first critical edition of his greatest philosophical work since the nineteenth-century, we find facing-page Latin translations and a thorough and detailed Introduction to the text.

Recenzje

Rees's translation of Novum organum supplies a long-felt need for a scholarly edition of this work ... meticulous attention to detail, judicious scholarship, humor, and a deep understanding of the richness and complexity of Bacon's natural philosophy.
