- W2152857093 abstract "HUMANISM AND THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION: BACON'S REJECTION OF ARISTOTLE Stephen Varvis Seemingly out of favor today, Francis Bacon nonetheless stands as one of the patriarchs of the modem age. He lived as one of the triumvirate of great thinkers in the mind of Thomas Jefferson along with Newton and Locke, but then this was in the eighteenth century, after the French had canonized him. In the seventeenth century his position was more ambiguous. His philosophy of science did not take into account mathematics as it would be used by Newton, and he was supremely confident of his ability to construct vast schemes of scientific knowledge; he was less scientist than philosopher of scientific improvement. The Royal Society of London took up his scheme of organization of scientific research. Yet slightly earlier, despite his appar ent lack of enthusiasm for religion, millenarian thinkers of the seventeenth century borrowed his Utopian thought, and once they had formed him in a new image, left him behind. In the last century historians have found room for him both among Puritans in science, and among the capitalist entrepre neurs of the Calvinist age. He himself survived for a time in the high-church court of James I, and his Essays provide a unique commentary on courtly society and ways of surviving in it. Bacon in effect embodied merging streams of influence in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-yet the dominant tributaries are difficult to mark out. How did those merging streams con tribute to the formation of Bacon's philosophy of science? To provide orientation for Bacon in his age, and consequently to provide an orientation for the age itself through one of its greater thinkers, we might look to his 'Herbert Butterfield, The Origins of Modern Science, 1300-1800, revised ed. (New York, 1965), pp. 108-109. Margery Purver, The Royal Society: Concept and Creation (Cambridge, MA, 1967), p. 101. For the use of Bacon by different groups, notably the radical reformers of the seventeenth century and their adaption of his thought to their millen- iarism, see Charles Webster, The Great Instauration; Science, Medicine and Reform, 1626-1660 (New York, 1975), chaps. 1 and 2." @default.
