(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

Francis Bacon's, The Advancement of Learning (1605) is considered the first major philosophical book written in English. In it, Bacon is concerned with scientific learning: the current state of knowledge, obstacles to its progress, and his own plans for revitalization of schools and universities. Here Bacon sets forth the first account of science as intended for "the relief of man's estate." With this newly designed and reset edition, this important work is again available in paperback. Difficult and fundamental, The Advancement of Learning helps define the modern era.

The Novum Organum, fully Novum Organum, sive indicia vera de Interpretationes Naturae (New organon, or true directions concerning the interpretation of nature), is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon, written in Latin and published in 1620. The title is a reference to Aristotle's work Organon, which was his treatise on logic and syllogism. In Novum Organum, Bacon details a new system of logic he believes to be superior to the old ways of syllogism. This is now known as the Baconian method.

New Atlantis, By the English astrologer, philosopher, statesman, spy, freemason and essayist. Offers a fictional illustration of Bacon's visionary ideal of the role that science should play in modern society, and depicts his idea of utopia.
