Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was a genuine midwife of modernity. He was one of the first thinkers to visualise a future which would be guided by a cooperative science-based vision of bettering human welfare. In this the first critical edition of his greatest philosophical work since the nineteenth-century, we find facing-page Latin translations and a thorough and detailed Introduction to the text.
The two editors deserve recognition, admiration and gratitude from the academic public for their meticulous work. The Oxford Francis Bacon thus becomes a further invaluable aid for research into early modern thinking. * Daniel Spelda, Acta Comeniana *
