Cover of Francis Bacon: Advancement of Learning (PDF)

Philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, lawyer, and prolific author — Francis Bacon was a true polymath and Renaissance man, and is regarded as one of the progenitors of the school of thought known as Empiricism, as well as the scientific method. In this volume, Bacon discusses a remarkably wide-ranging array of philosophical and scientific subjects, putting the mind-boggling breadth of his knowledge on full display.
