Summary
Francis Bacon: The New Organon
Bacon's canonical work The New Organon self-consciously and radically breaks with the intellectual tradition of antiquity and the Middle Ages and establishes a new paradigm of human cognitive and active powers, far-reaching and relevant even for our modern age. Bacon affirms a new epistemology and a new ontology that leads to the transformation of the philosophy of scholastic Aristotelianism into a methodology of scientific work and represents the theoretical foundation of the natural scientific revolutions of the 17th century, whose legacy is also our era.
