Críticas:

'A useful addition to the ongoing debate on Bacon and his importance to both the early modern and the modern world...' Renaissance Quarterly 'The editors have done well in putting together an interesting and wide-ranging collection that advances our understanding of Bacon's large and complex project for joining together all intellectual disciplines.' Isis '...a valuable addition to both Bacon scholarship and to early modern studies in general...this collection of essays has value that it offers potential for new avenues of research...this work will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars from a wide range of disciplines, a remarkable feat for a work whose essays can trace their origins to a single claim by a modern sociobiologist.' Sixteenth Century Journal

Reseña del editor:

Commemorating the 400th anniversary of the publication of Francis Bacon's Advancement of Learning (1605), this collection examines Bacon's recasting of proto-scientific philosophies and practices into early modern discourses of knowledge. Like Bacon, all of the contributors to this volume confront an essential question: how to integrate intellectual traditions with emergent knowledges to forge new intellectual futures. The volume's main theme is Bacon's core interest in identifying and conceptualizing coherent intellectual disciplines, including the central question of whether Bacon succeeded in creating unified discourses about learning. Bacon's interests in natural philosophy, politics, ethics, law, medicine, religion, neoplatonic magic, technology and humanistic learning are here mirrored in the contributors' varied intellectual backgrounds and diverse approaches to Bacon's thought.
