Ultra Columnas Herculis: Four centuries since the publication of the Instauratio magna by Francis Bacon

Abstract

Four hundred years ago, in 1620, Francis Bacon published his monumentally laid out (but never completed) work entitled Instauratio magna. From the point of view of the history of science, his original emphasis on the experimental and collaborative nature of (the emerging) science turned out to be the most lasting legacy of his work.

Language: czech

Keywords: Francis Bacon, Instauratio magna, natural philosophy, modern science, induction
