162388621Londres, John Haviland pour Matthew Lownes, 1623, in-8, [4]-454 pp. (les feuillets blancs Aa4 et Cc6 sont absents), Vélin ancien, titre manuscrit en tête du dos et sur la tranche supérieure, Édition originale de ce livre majeur de Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Publié comme la troisième partie de l'Instauratio Magna, l'ouvrage offre une étude sur la longévité ou la brièveté de la vie chez l'homme et aborde la question de la prolongation de la vie. L'auteur s'interroge sur la possibilité de vivre plusieurs centaines d'années, comme les hommes avant le déluge, et propose quelques témoignages contemporains relatifs à de rares grandes longévités, voire exceptionnelles, en citant notamment le cas de la comtesse de Desmond, qui aurait vécu 140 ans (Operation super exclusionem aeries II, 14, p. 269). La philosophie de Francis Bacon (1561-1626) fut l'une des plus influentes au XVIIe siècle, avec celle de Descartes. Il a encouragé le développement de la méthode inductive d'investigation scientifique, en s'opposant à la méthode scolastique qui avait cours depuis le Moyen Âge. Il rejetait la logique déductive d'Aristote et pensait que la science devait s'intéresser au monde physique. Précocement, il pensait que la chaleur est un mouvement, identifiait la force magnétique et la gravitation, affirmait que la lumière voyageait à une vitesse finie et reconnaissait l'idée de la conservation de la masse (Heirs of Hippocrates n° 398). Bacon a également pensé la question de l'euthanasie et a livré sur le sujet des réflexions d'une telle importance qu'il a été crédité, à tort, d'avoir forgé le terme d'euthanasia.

Dedicated to Dr. Richard Mead. Bacon’s "insistence on making science experimental and factual rather than speculative and philosophical had powerful consequences. He saw clearly the limitations of Aristotelian and scholastic methods". Bacon’s influence on Locke and through him on subsequent English schools of psychology and ethics was profound. Leibniz Huygens and particularly Robert Boyle were deeply indebted to him as were the Encyclopedistes and Voltaire." - Printing and the Mind of Man.
