as I was reading Shiva Vandana, I was
surprised that she also mentions Francis Bacon with a not very well known work of him;"The masculin birth of time". I couldn t read this article but
it is obvious that with him there was a shift in social dimensions. He didn t contribute to the development of natural sciences maybe but he has managed to instrumentalize science for politics.
In the sense of Plato he was a new kind and a more dangerous kind of Sophist.
Galilei was not lesser philosoph than Francis Bacon. On the contrary Bacon was like Machiavelli a broken politician.
They both were not scientists...
