Extrait: ... c'est dommage que Bacon ne l'ait point accompagnee d'une figure en taille-douce; mais la reponse est tranchante et digne du sujet: C'est, dit-il, parce qu'il y a dans l'odorat des chiens quelque chose qui ne se trouve pas dans celui des autres animaux (1). On voit briller ici l'induction legitime et la methode d'exclusion; car il est bien clair que toute autre explication du phenomene seroit fausse. Je m'extasiois tout a l'heure sur l'importance dela question que je viens de rappeler; cependant celle qui suit n'en a pas moins, et la solution ne laisse rien a desirer. Pourquoi les dejections de tous les animaux exhalent-elles une odeur desagreable?-- - La - cause en est MANIFESTE: c'est parce - qu'elles ont ete rejetees par le corps animal - lui-meme, et plus specialement encore par - les esprits vitaux (2). - Ainsi la fetidite, dans (1) Whick skeweth ihere is somewkat in their sense of smcll dijfering from the smell of otker beasts. (Nat. hist. cent, ix, n 835. Opp. tom. u, p. M.) (2) The cause is MANIFEST; for that the body itself rejected tkem; much more the spirits. (Ibid.) ce cas, n'est autre chose qu'une sorte de tristesse physique qui saisit ces matieres au moment ou elles se voient exclues par le corps lui-meme.--En effet cette espece de relegation est mortifiante. Le flambeau de l'analogie me conduit a une autre question du meme ordre: c'est celle de savoir pourquoi un parfum, place pres d'une fosse d'aisance, s'evapore moins et conserve son odeur plus long-temps que dans tout autre lieu? -- Ici l'induction legitime vient...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Bacon's 'Inquiry Touching Human Nature' is an engagement at a fundamental level with the political and philosophic thought of one of the founders of modernity, Francis Bacon. Bacon had a comprehensive vision of the human situation. And because he saw the costs or dangers of modern life as clearly as he predicted its achievements and boons, Bacon is a thinker who addresses directly and deeply our own perplexities.

Download or read book The Political Philosophy of Francis Bacon written by Tom van Malssen and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious and radically original reading of philosopher Francis Bacon. Comprehensive in its ambitions and meticulous in its approach, The Political Philosophy of Francis Bacon is a new and unique interpretation of one of early modernity’s more important thinkers. Whereas recent works on Bacon tend to confine themselves either to interpreting his historical context or to considering the founder of Baconianism from the perspective of one work in particular or the history of science in general, Tom van Malssen argues, through detailed and provocative interpretations of a number of Baconian writings, that the unity of Bacon’s thought can only be revealed if these writings are read in historical and philosophical conjunction as well as on the assumption that they are all somehow part of the whole of Bacon’s political philosophy. In addition to restoring Bacon to the pantheon of great philosophers, van Malssen demonstrates that a proper understanding of Bacon’s political philosophy contributes significantly to our understanding of the nature of philanthropic science, the modern project, and ultimately ourselves. “This book will become an enduring pillar of our understanding of Bacon’s philosophy. The scholarship and mastery of the historical sources, both philosophic and Biblical, are brilliant.” — Jerry Weinberger, author of Science, Faith, and Politics: Francis Bacon and the Utopian Roots of the Modern Age: A Commentary on Bacon’s Advancement of Learning “The scholarship of Bacon in this book is masterful. It should transform and deepen the field, the ‘field’ being the nature and history of the philosophic life. This is arguably the most thoughtful, penetrating, and ultimately revealing book on Bacon ever written.” — Svetozar Minkov, author of Francis Bacon’s “Inquiry Touching Human Nature”: Virtue, Philosophy, and the Relief of Man’s Estate

Book excerpt: Among great men, Claude Bernard should be counted fortunate in that he has not become a mythical figure. Pasteur's discoveries are hardly more remarkable, though their immediate influence has been much greater, and his horizon was incontestably less broad. But Bernard remains a plain man, highly distinguished, but not obscured by the growth of a legend. His physiological researches may have immortalized his name, but Experimental Medicine never exerted the influence which it promised. What Bernard saw as the future of physiology remained for decades obscured, so his writings were only half understood. His influence, however, was exerted far beyond medicine. Stewart Wolf suggests that Claude Bernard's genius in physiological experimentation is similar to the extraordinary Sherlock Holmes' capacity to solve crimes and William Osler's uncanny abilities in clinical diagnosis. Like both of those creative searchers, Claude Bernard typically focused on findings that did not accord with prevailing theory. His curiosity led him to attempt to explain the finding by a tentative hypothesis; he would then devise an experiment. Although he sought for a quantitative result that might serve as a basis of a theory, he had little confidence in statistics as a guide to certainty. Bernard's opposition scientists' prevailing habit of segregating their inquiries into systems rather than studying the unified organism is particularly striking. This volume will be important for those in the medical field as well as those interested in the history of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The common focus of the essays in this book is the debate on the nature of science - often referred to by contemporaries as ’natural knowledge’ - in Britain during the first half of the 19th century. This was the period before major state support for science allowed its professionalization; indeed, it was a time in which the word ’scientist’ (although coined in 1833 by William Whewell) was not yet widely used. In this context, the questions about the nature of science were part of a public debate that included the following topics: scientific method and intellectual authority, the moral demeanour of the man of science, the hierarchy of specialised scientific disciplines, and the relation with natural theology. These topics were discussed both within scientific circles - in correspondence and meeting of societies - as well as in the wider public sphere constituted by quarterly journals and encyclopaedias. A study of these debates allow us to see how British science of this period began to cast loose some of its earlier theological supports, but still relied on a moral framework to affirm its distinctive method, ethos and cultural value.
