Sir Francis Bacon, statesman, essayist and philosopher, studied law
and rose to high office as Lord Chancellor. He had enormous
influence on the change of direction for scientific method from
speculative and philosophical in the Aristotelian tradition to
experimental and factual. Bacon's philosophical influence extended
to Locke and through him to subsequent English schools of
psychology and ethics. Abroad, his influence also extended to
Leibniz, Huygens and Voltaire who called him 'le pere de la
philosophie experimentale'.
This edition contains all Bacon's philosophical works as well as
translations, plus literary and professional works, and includes
illuminating introductions and explanatory footnotes by the three
editors as well as a new introduction by Graham Rees.
