Instauratio magna
Book • 1620
Instauratio magna, which includes the Novum Organum, is Francis Bacon's magnum opus.
It outlines a new method for acquiring knowledge of the world through observation, experiment, and inductive reasoning, rather than relying on classical authority or metaphysical speculation.
The work is part of Bacon's ambitious plan to reconstruct all human knowledge and extend human power over the universe.
Only two parts of the intended six-part work were completed: De augmentis scientiarum and Novum Organum.
The Novum Organum contains central ideas of Bacon's system and critiques traditional scientific methods, advocating for a new approach based on empirical evidence and experimentation.
This work significantly influenced the development of modern science and the establishment of scientific academies such as the Royal Society.
