Essay aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The issues considered in this essay reflect the notion of scientific utopia in New Atlantis by Francis Bacon. Considered the father of the empirical scientific method, he wrote the "New Atlantis" in 1623. The work expresses his ideals interwoven into the story of an unknown island. In other words, its potential as independent land mastered by science and kept secret by the rest of the world has been expressed. It has also been argued that the prosperity of the Bensalem residents rests on technical progress, because for Bacon the means of eliminating social contradictions is economic prosperity. Consequently, science was a means not an end in itself.
