Francis Bacon’s Ideal Social Model Through the Work “New Atlantis”: Historical Value and Contemporary Significance

Abstract

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English empiricist philosopher who laid the groundwork for British empiricism and paved the way for modern experimental science. In his pioneering spirit of new thought and philosophy, his ideas on the ideal social model through the work "New Atlantis" in particular, and his philosophical thoughts in general, are among the invaluable theoretical legacies for the development of humanity. Clarifying Francis Bacon's perspective on the ideal social model through the study of the work "New Atlantis" and drawing historical significance, contributes significantly to the research and teaching of the history of philosophy in general and the history of Western philosophy in particular, for both lecturers and students studying political theory.
