Description

Rediscover Francis Bacon's enduring contributions to scientific thought in this scholarly examination by Dennis Desroches. While Bacon remains credited as the father of modern experimental science, his philosophical writings have been largely overlooked by contemporary historians, philosophers, and scientists. This Continuum Studies in British Philosophy volume makes a compelling case for revisiting Bacon's fundamental theoretical insights on producing scientific knowledge. Desroches systematically addresses the critics across literary criticism, science studies, feminism, philosophy, and history who have shaped decades of academic interpretation. This used book in good condition offers an accessible yet rigorous exploration of how Bacon's epistemological framework continues to inform our understanding of scientific method and remains relevant to modern debates about the limits and possibilities of empirical inquiry.
