Given Maistre's stature in the history of conservative thought, his critique of Bacon remains significant for what it tells us about Maistre's own thought, what it reveals about attitudes toward science in his time, and what it contributes to issues that are still debated today. The work also showcases Maistre's polemical skills and his powerful prose style. Richard Lebrun's annotated translation includes Maistre's complete text, an extensive introduction that places the work in context and provides a critical exposition and assessment of Maistre's criticisms of Bacon, biographical notes on persons cited or mentioned by Maistre, and a bibliography. Differences between Maistre's manuscript and the printed text, first published fifteen years after the author's death, are noted, and Maistre's numerous citations have been identified, verified, and translated, making this the only authoritative and fully accurate edition of the work in either French or English. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 676 $a192 700 $aMaistre$b Joseph Marie$ccomte de,$f1753-1821.$0323346 701 $aLebrun$b Richard$01473169 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782708703321 996 $aAn examination of the philosophy of Bacon$93697454 997 $aUNINA
