Description
Francis Bacon's Selected Philosophical Works offers a comprehensive collection of his major writings in paperback. This edition brings together Bacon's philosophical and scientific works in their entirety, or in substantial selections, revised from classic 19th-century editions. The volume includes selections from Bacon's natural histories, which demonstrate the types of compilations he believed would contribute to the third part of his Great Instauration. Each work is accompanied by a separate brief introduction that outlines the major themes developed. The book also features an Introduction by Rose-Mary Sargent, which provides a biographical overview of Bacon's life and education, discusses his philosophical project, and explores his influence on subsequent natural philosophy. Sargent's Introduction also examines the evolution of Bacon's works in response to changing philosophical currents, from the early 20th-century criticisms to the current revival of interest in his ideas.
