Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of writings by Roger Bacon, a 13th-century English philosopher and scientist. Bacon's work marked a turning point in the history of science, as he sought to move away from blind acceptance of ancient authorities and towards an empirical approach to knowledge based on experimentation and observation. Despite persecution by his contemporaries for his radical ideas, centuries later, Bacon's writings on subjects as diverse as optics and alchemy would come to influence the scientific revolution. His emphasis on the importance of mathematics, experimentation and careful observation laid the groundwork for the scientific method still used today and helped to usher in a new era of scientific discovery.
