This book rehabilitates the reputation of Francis Bacon as one of the seminal founders of modernity, especially of modern political and economic science. Robert K. Faulkner argues that Baconian concepts have come to underlie a number of the progressive philosophies of the modern world. The book is clearly written and makes available a wide range of issues concerning the style of Bacon's writings and his politics. Highly recommended to both general and academic libraries at all levels.
Robert K. Faulkner is professor of political science at Boston College and the author of Richard Hooker and the Politics of Christian England and The Jurisprudence of John Marshall.
. . . affords us a searching and far-reaching investigation of the origins of modernity. Faulkner's accound of Bacon's project, both in its political and in its scientific dimensions, should lead to a reconsideration of the many seminal writings he treats.
