Francis Bacon and the Politics of Science by John E. Leary, Jr., Ph.D.

This incisive study reinterprets the impact of Francis Bacon (1561-1626)-originator of the scientific method-on science in the West. Disputing Bacon as a progressive, democratic reformer, the book: * Examines Bacon as a fundamentally conservative, loyalist politician-philosopher. His influential vision is shown to have evolved in response to political and social milieus of the 17th-century, an age of controversy, conflict, and inquiry. * Explores the complex relationship between Bacon's political career and his role as a scientific planner and propagandist. * Cautions against considering science as an innately liberal, "modern" entity and Bacon as its enigmatic prophet.
