An essay on the development of Francis Bacon's philosophy from 1603 to 1609 with new translations of fundamental texts. This book emphasizes that Bacon was more than “the Father of Inductive Philosophy.” He was not a philosopher immersed solely in scholarly concerns, but a man sensitive to the historical moment through which the England of his times, the England of Elizabeth and James, was passing, and he wanted, as a philosopher, to influence the transformation he sensed was imminent.
