Sommario/riassunto |
|
The relationship between technology, philosophy, and politics is both contentious and vital to our understanding of human nature and the ways human beings interact with one another in society; Francis Bacon outlined the wild potential and great danger of this relationship. This book explores Bacon's role as a founder of modern political science and the place of his New Atlantis in the founding of modern political thought. |
