Joseph de Maistre

An Examination of the Philosophy of Bacon: Wherein Different Questions of Rational Philosophy Are Treated

The author's critique of Bacon, written between 1814 and 1816, is a vigorous attack on the materialism and scientism that he believed characterized the thought of the French philosophers. This title helps us to understand the basis for his critique of modern science as well as his criticisms of other aspects of Enlightenment thought.
