Abstract

Among the pioneers of seventeenth century philosophy and the propaganda of modern science was the well-known figure Francis Bacon. As commonly argued, his work prepared the ground for justifying the modern scientific attitude towards nature distinguished by its activism and search for mastery. This article examines Bacon's Utopian text New Atlantis from the angle of political theory in an effort to delineate the suggestions that pertain to human nature, the conditions of social order and happiness, and the relations between scientists and ordinary people. It is argued that Bacon's imaginary society relies on a remarkable tension between revolutionary scientific activity and the traditional and conservative community.

Özet

17. Yüzyılda modern bilimi savunan ve felsefesini tanıtan öncü figürlerden biri Francis Bacon idi. Çalışmasının doğaya karşı etkin ve tahakküme dayalı bir tutum içeren modern bilimsel tavrın temellendirilmesinde belirleyici olduğu konusunda fikir birliği vardır. Bacon 'un ütopik metni Yeni Atlantis'i siyaset kuramı açısından inceleyen bu çalışma insan doğası, toplumsal düzenin ve mutluluğun koşullan ve bilim adamlarıyla sıradan insanlar arasındaki ilişkiler konusundaki önerileri ayrıştırmaktadır: Temel tez olarak Bacon'un düşsel toplumunun devrimci bilimsel faaliyet ile geleneksel ve tutucu cemaat arasında çarpıcı bir gerilim üzerine kurulmuş olduğudur.
