This book offers a comprehensive and unitary study of the
philosophy of Francis Bacon, with special emphasis on the medical,
ethical and political aspects of his thought. It presents an
original interpretation focused on the material conditions of
nature and human life. In particular, coverage in the book is
organized around the unifying theme of Bacon's notion of appetite,
which is considered in its natural, ethical, medical and political
meanings. The book redefines the notions of experience and
experiment in Bacon's philosophy of nature, shows the important
presence of Stoic themes in his work as well as provides an
original discussion of the relationships between natural magic,
prudence and political realism in his philosophy. Bringing together
scholarly expertise from the history of philosophy, the history of
science and the history of literature, this book presents readers
with a rich and diverse contextualization of Bacon's philosophy.
