Francis Bacon's "Inquiry Touching Human Nature" is a study of
Francis Bacon's moral philosophy in its relation to the
enlightenment project he helped launch. Since Bacon is one of the
founders of technological modernity, the book presents a meditation
on the presuppositions and character of modern life. In its
distinctiveness, modern life is characterized by a rejection as
well as a reinterpretation of the classical and Christian
approaches to life and conceptions of virtue. Svetozar Minkov
follows closely Bacon's confrontation with the traditional views on
courage, moderation, justice, wisdom, love, and ways of dealing
with death and general adversity. Bacon had a comprehensive vision
of the human situation. He can help us think through the relation
between power and wisdom. And because he saw the costs or dangers
of modern life as clearly as he predicted, and helped bring about,
its advancements and boons, Bacon is a thinker who addresses
directly and deeply our own perplexities.
