By modern standards Bacon's writings are striking in their range
and diversity, and they are too often considered a separate
specialist concerns in isolation from each other. Dr Jardine finds
a unifying principle in Bacon's preoccupation with 'method', the
evaluation and organisation of information as a procedure of
investigation or of presentation. She shows how such an
interpretation makes consistent (and often surprising) sense of the
whole corpus of Bacon's writings: how the familiar but
misunderstood inductive method for natural science relations to the
more information strategies of argument in his historical, ethical,
political and literary work. There is a substantial and valuable
study of the intellectual Renaissance background from which Bacon
emerged and against which he reacted. Through a series of details
comparisons and contrasts we are led to appreciate the true
originality and ingenuity of Bacon's own views and also to discount
the more superficial resemblances between them and later
developments in the philosophy of science.
