Commemorating the 400th anniversary of the publication of Francis
Bacon's Advancement of Learning (1605), this collection examines
Bacon's recasting of proto-scientific philosophies and practices
into early modern discourses of knowledge. Like Bacon, all of the
contributors to this volume confront an essential question: how to
integrate intellectual traditions with emergent knowledges to forge
new intellectual futures. The volume's main theme is Bacon's core
interest in identifying and conceptualizing coherent intellectual
disciplines, including the central question of whether Bacon
succeeded in creating unified discourses about learning. Bacon's
interests in natural philosophy, politics, ethics, law, medicine,
religion, neoplatonic magic, technology and humanistic learning are
here mirrored in the contributors' varied intellectual backgrounds
and diverse approaches to Bacon's thought.
