"Francis Bason was one of the leading figures in natural philosophy and in the field of scientific methodology in the period of transition from the Renaissance to the early modern era. As a lawyer member of Parliament and Queen's Counsel Bacon wrote on questions of law state and religion as well as on contemporary politics; but he also published texts in which he speculated on possible conceptions of society and pondered questions of ethics.To the present day Bacon is well known for his treatises on empiricist natural philosophy The Advancement of Learning Novum Organum Scientiarum and for his doctrine of the idols" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. His wide range of writings are reflected in this early five-volume set edited by Thomas Birch giving readers an opportunity to engage with study and appreciate Bacon's diverse intellectual contributions.
