Talk:Francis Bacon

Subjugation of Nature
I added something about the dubious "Bacon promotes rape" theories, but there is also a more general strain in Marxist, poststructuralist, feminist, etc, thought that blames Bacon for all the evils of the industrial revolution and the atom bomb. --Gospatric (talk) 12:25, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * So... does it means far-leftist ideologies have been always anti-science and anti-reason? (I mean, against scientific method)
 * Is not blaming everything wrong to Francis Bacon kinda reductionist? (Single cause- single solution fallacy) Weren´t there more antecedents? Nitrato de Chile (talk) 20:43, 3 July 2021 (UTC) Nitrato de Chile
 * What Marxist "blames Bacon for all the evils of the industrial revolution and the atom bomb"? Marx and Engels certainly didn't, and I can't think of a communist party that did. In fact, when Marxism is criticized, a frequent accusation is that Marxists are Eurocentric and uncritically exalt the power of science and industry to positively transform society. --Ismailov (talk) 04:53, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
