Description and Table of Contents
Description
This seminal philosophical treatise, originally penned in 1605 and considered the first major philosophical work written in English, also offers the first description of science as a tool to improve the human condition. This breakthrough work of the English Renaissance hailed new times and new possibilities for the human species. Bacon catalogues the current state of learning, the obstacles to its progress, and his own plans for its revitalisation. Newly designed and reset as an inexpensive paperback, this edition makes available a work that has significantly defined the modern era.
