Compare Francis Bacon And The Transformation Of Early-modern Philosophy by Stephen Gaukroger, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This ambitious and important book provides the first truly general account of Francis Bacon as a philosopher. It explores in detail how and why Bacon attempted to transform the largely esoteric discipline of natural philosophy into a public practice through a program in which practical science provided a model that inspired many from the 17th to the 20th centuries. This book will be recognized as a major contribution to Baconian scholarship of special interest to historians of early modern philosophy, science, and ideas. | Francis Bacon And The Transformation Of Early-modern Philosophy by Stephen Gaukroger, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
