Empiricism and Geographical Thought - From Francis Bacon to Alexander von Humbolt (Paperback): Margarita Bowen Empiricism and Geographical Thought - From Francis Bacon to Alexander von Humbolt (Paperback)

The age of Francis Bacon marked the beginning of a long period when empirical science was seen as the key to progress in extending man's control over nature. Recently, however, a breakdown of confidence in the outcome of worldwide industrialism and a growing concern over threats to the earth's ecosystems have brought mounting criticism of specialized, exploitative science. Demands for conservation and social responsibility are leading to a reappraisal of the whole philosophy of science that has been dominant for three centuries, and many observers see this as a new scientific revolution, comparable in significance with that of the seventeenth century.
