In 1620, the British politician and philosopher Francis Bacon
published Novum Organum (New Method) and formalized the previously
scattershot methods of scientific experimentation into a method able
to be replicated. In due time, the Western world would build an
intellectual empire on the basis of Bacon’s concepts of scientific
research. The West’s university and its scientific and medical
systems all stem from Bacon’s philosophy.
But after nearly four hundred years; it is time for something new
again. In mathematics, theoretical physics, and philosophy, a quiet
revolution has begun. Thinkers who can study across disciplines and
form analogies, who take seriously the History and Philosophy of
Science and its problems of metaphysics and epistemology, have been
making impressive breakthroughs. These methods have been, up until
now, as random as the process of experimentation was in Bacon’s day.
This timely book has come to formalize these methods, build upon
Bacon’s scientific research model, and to ultimately go beyond it.
