«Knowledge is Power» is John Henry's essay on the origins of modern science, published by Totem Books in paperback (192 pages, in English).
John Henry reconstructs the intellectual context in which Francis Bacon devised his reform of knowledge: the influence of magic, his experience in state administration and the expectation of an apocalypse. The book shows how these currents fed a new conception of knowledge and prepared the way for modern science.
The full subtitle is «How Magic, the Government and an Apocalyptic Vision Inspired Francis Bacon to Create Modern Science». This essay belongs to the Icon Science series.
For readers interested in the history of science, philosophy and processes of change in scientific thought.
