Francis Bacon's Idea of Science and the Maker's Knowledge Tradition by Antonio Perez-Ramos
An account of Francis Bacon's (1561-1626) conception of natural inquiry, placing Bacon in an epistemological tradition which postulates an intimate relation between objects of cognition and objects of construction, and regards the human knower as, fundamentally, a maker. He explores the background of this tradition and the ways in which major philosophers of the seventeenth century reacted to it in order to contrast their responses with Bacon's own. The overall result promotes the view that Bacon was the founding father of modern philosophy of science.| SKU | Unavailable |
