Synopsis

Works by Francis Bacon. This volume is part of a 19th?century edition of The Works of Francis Bacon, edited and translated by James Spedding, with collaboration from Robert Leslie Ellis and Douglas Denon Heath. Volume IX contains translations of the philosophical Works, particularly the translations from the De Augmentis Scientiarum, together with prefatory material, translator notes, and editorial apparatus that accompany the Baconian project. Published in 1864, the volume aims to provide English readers with access to Bacon's philosophy and the historical programme of the Great Instauration, including the translation of the philosophical books and their explanatory notes. The edition presents Bacon's method for reforming learning, science, and the governance of knowledge, and places his ideas in the context of early modern empiricism and natural philosophy. Though the translations and editorial valves are scholarly and sometimes mixed in character, the collection remains a foundational resource for students of Bacon's philosophy, the history of science, and the intellectual history of the seventeenth century.
