Francis Bacon: The New Organon (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy) (Volume 0) by Bacon, Francis. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521564830.

Francis Bacons New Organon, published in 1620, was revolutionary in its attempt to give formal philosophical shape to a new and rapidly emerging experimental science. It challenged the entire edifice of the philosophy and learning of Bacons time, and left its mark on all subsequent discussions of scientific method. This volume presents a new translation of the text into modern English by Michael Silverthorne, together with an introduction by Lisa Jardine that sets the work in the context of Bacons scientific and philosophical activities.
