Description

Sir Francis Bacon, statesman, essayist and philosopher, studied law and rose to high office as Lord Chancellor.

He had enormous influence on the change of direction for scientific method from speculative and philosophical in the Aristotelian tradition to experimental and factual.

Bacon's philosophical influence extended to Locke and through him to subsequent English schools of psychology and ethics.

Abroad, his influence also extended to Leibniz, Huygens and Voltaire who called him 'le pere de la philosophie experimentale'. This edition contains all Bacon's philosophical works as well as translations, plus literary and professional works, and includes illuminating introductions and explanatory footnotes by the three editors as well as a new introduction by Graham Rees.
