Examen de la philosophic de Bacon; Bacon Francis 1561-1626 -- Criticism and interpretation; Bacon Francis 1561-1626 -- Contributions in philosophy of science; Maistre Joseph comte de 1753-1821 -- Contributions; An Examination of the Philosophy of Bacon is one of Joseph de Maistre's most original and important works. Best known for his defence of throne and altar and for his critique of the political and religious thought of the Enlightenment, Maistre also addressed more fundamental philosophical issues. His 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 philosophes.
