Novum Organum

Bacon puts into words some philosophical ideas I've thought of but didn't know how to articulate. This is one very smart man.

Print looks like it came from an old typewriter running out of ribbon ink. Font size is OK, but the print has a lot of broken char. and is not that easy to read.If I can make one critique of Bacon's methodology, is the lack of solid examples and illustrations to give substance to his abstractions. It is really tough to get a 'sense' of what all his loquacity points to.Undoubtedly, he was pointing out a new means of doing research and making proof of experiments, but he would have done well to give some examples. The text is rich in ideas about thinking, but nothing much of a solid foundation to demonstrate his theories by example in real life.

Very heavy in a small book

Very readable version of Bacons masterpiece. You can’t beat the price, either.

A+++

Not a good read.

Beware of the reprint editions of this book. I returned my copy ans searched for the printed edition by the original publisher. The scanned print was fuzzy and the paper like newsprint.

Important text? Thank you

Bacon's musings 400 years ago has enlivened the thinking of many people .Like the thoughts and wonderings of a child.Page 122/13 under the subheading of the of " Forms of heat"All shaggy substances , as wool, skins of animals, and plumage of birds, contain some heat.Page 123/27 Even a severe and intense cold produces a sensation of burning.Bacon can rightly be called the " Father of Science"He opens the mind to a wonderful but oft-times troubled world.Remember this bok was written 400 years ago.

este edición no es para gente normal, solo para aquellos raros individuos conscientes de lo que representa el pasado y de lo difícil que es el progreso de la cultura y lo facil que se ven los resultados de ese avance.

The book itself is 5 stars (and more, if there were more stars) - The author gave us - for the first time in history - a concrete and very honest method of obtaining knowledge and certainties, by developing the scientific method (by induction) of research and discovery.(What would really make this a top-rate book, is if an editor had inserted a glossary of terms for quick reference at the back of the book, to clarify the meanings of certain words as used by the author in the context of the book).

Bonjour,Ceci n'est pas le texte original traduit en anglais, c'est une explication du texte original, le livre n'est donc pas écrit par Francis Bacon.Cordialement.
