Sobre este producto
  • A visionary tale of scientific discovery, moral enlightenment, and the pursuit of knowledge in a utopian world.Written shortly before his death and published posthumously in 1627, The New Atlantis is Francis Bacon’s bold and influential blueprint for an ideal society shaped by the systematic pursuit of truth. In this short but powerful utopian work, Bacon envisions a hidden island civilization, Bensalem, where the pursuit of science is not only celebrated but state-sponsored—foreseeing the rise of modern research institutions and technological innovation.What sets this utopia apart is not just its devotion to knowledge, but the noble spirit of its citizens—generous, enlightened, pious, and morally grounded. The island's centerpiece, the House of Salomon, is a proto-scientific research academy dedicated to experimentation and discovery—anticipating advancements in medicine, meteorology, machines, and more.Notably, Bacon wrote this work in English first—intending it for a wide audience—and left it curiously unfinished, much like Plato’s account of Atlantis. Yet The New Atlantis remains a profound testament to Bacon’s enduring belief that science, guided by ethics and public purpose, could transform the human condition.A philosophical classic that blends utopia, early science fiction, and political theory—essential reading for students of literature, political philosophy, and the history of science.
