Stephen Pumfrey

Patricia Fara, a Senior Tutor at Clare College, specializes in the history of science; Stephen Pumfrey studies Baconian science as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lancaster; and Rhodri Lewis, a Fellow at St Hughes College, provides literary insights. They delve into Francis Bacon's dual legacy as a lawyer and philosopher, exploring his revolutionary Baconian Method and its ongoing influence. Discussions highlight the collaborative ideals of Solomon's House and Bacon's integral role in shaping empirical science, all while critiquing the elitism in modern scientific practices.
