Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intersection of the beliefs and practices of two men who shared the same last name but lived centuries apart. The author argues that English philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon borrowed or imitated both the subject matter and the titles of many of his works from the 13th-century philosopher and scientist, Roger Bacon. Despite their shared surname, the two thinkers are separated by considerable time, and their works explore different ideas. While Roger Bacon attempted to reform philosophy by synthesizing existing knowledge, Francis Bacon intended to create a new methodology for scientific discovery. The author provides ample evidence that Francis Bacon borrowed or imitated Roger Bacon's terminology and ideas, but he does not delve into Francis Bacon's motivations for doing so. Through comparing the works of these thinkers, this book sheds light on the development of philosophy and science during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
