Bacon und Kant: Ein erkenntnistheoretischer Vergleich zwischen dem "Novum Organum" und der "Kritik der reinen Vernunft"

Anyone interested in establishing an intellectual connection between Kant and Bacon must first ask the question as to what similarity could exist between Kant, who carried out a transcendental turn in philosophy, and Bacon, the "generalof empirical philosophy.” Only through such considerations can one understand why Kant’s first Critique announces a new epoch in philosophy with a passage from, ofall things, Bacon’s Instauratio Magna.
