The New Organon (in Latin, Novum Organum) is a historic work by Francis Bacon which lays out the system of logic which became known as the Baconian Method.Originally penned in Latin, this text discusses the various methods of reasoning one may use to come to a sound conclusion. The philosophical debate on the nature of inductive and reductive thinking has seen scholars deem The New Organon to be one of the first writings to signify the Enlightenment period of human development. It would also prove notable for its questioning of antiquity: until this time, Greek thought on logic had gone largely unchallenged. Perhaps most significantly of all is this work's impact upon the eventual formulation of the scientific method. Although strictly a text of philosophy, it was the intellectual rigors described by Bacon that were to become a forebear to the intensive development of the sciences in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The New Atlantis by Francis Bacon details the ideas and vision of the scientific utopia conceived by the author.This story sets out a process of discovery whereby sailors, lost somewhere off the Peruvian coastline, stumble across Bensalem. While the opening passages hold only the bare bones of plot, the emphasis once the explorers arrive in Bensalem is its university - Salomon's House. Promoted tenets include kindness, compassion and honesty, aesthetic beauty in public buildings and civic life, an intellectual spirit fostered among the population, a university named Salomon's House where sciences are studied and developed, and a strong sense of religious piety held by the entire population. Today, The New Atlantis is most significant for its statement of the ideals of the nascent Enlightenment era, in which Francis Bacon was an influential thinker. The text is also interpretative, with Bensalem's conversion to Christianity and the nature of its hierarchy poignant elements in the fiction.
