Baconian and Cartesian Philosophy

Mehr zum Buch

The Renaissance and Scientific Revolution marked a pivotal shift in European thought, influencing art, science, medicine, and philosophy while reshaping social, economic, and political landscapes. New discoveries challenged ancient knowledge, as natural philosophers confronted previously unknown plants, animals, and diseases. Key figures like Francis Bacon and René Descartes emerged, each contributing to the development of the modern scientific method through different approaches, with Bacon recognized for his philosophical impact rather than direct scientific contributions.
