DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for Papers: Special Issue on Francis Bacon and His Legacies</strong></p>\n<p><strong><em>The Journal of Early Modern Studies</em></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Guest Editors: Dana Jalobeanu and Silvia Manzo</strong></p>\n\n<p>The <em>Journal of Early Modern Studies</em> (<em>JEMS</em>) invites submissions for a special issue marking the <strong>400th anniversary of Francis Bacon&rsquo\;s death in 2026</strong>. This volume will explore the diverse reception of Bacon&rsquo\;s philosophical work across different traditions and geographical regions.</p>\n<p>Bacon&rsquo\;s legacy is a complex tapestry of intersecting\, clashing\, and sometimes unrelated interpretations. He has been lauded as the "father of experimental philosophy" and empiricism\, and simultaneously labeled an inductivist\, atheist\, or a devoted Christian\, eclectic\, utilitarian\, positivist\, and materialist.<strong> </strong>While he was a foundational figure in the seventeenth century Europe and reached the height of his influence during the Enlightenment\, his philosophical reputation began to wane in the mid-nineteenth century. This decline helps explain why Bacon has often been excluded from the central canon of Western early modern philosophy over the past two centuries.</p>\n<p>This special issue aims to re-evaluate Bacon's enduring relevance. By tracing the impact of his work on readers in varied intellectual\, philosophical\, and political contexts\, we can uncover the untapped potential of his ideas.</p>\n<p>We welcome papers that explore the impact of Bacon's work on a wide range of topics\, including but not limited to:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Metaphysics</li>\n<li>Natural Philosophy</li>\n<li>Natural History</li>\n<li>Experimentation and Method</li>\n<li>Politics of Science</li>\n<li>Utopianism</li>\n<li>Colonialism</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Submission deadline:</strong> May 1\, 2026</p>\n<p>For detailed submission guidelines\, please visit:</p>\n<p>https://www.pdcnet.org/jems/Submission-Guidelines</p>\n<p>For inquiries\, please contact: </p>\n<p>Dana Jalobeanu (dana.jalobeanu@filosofie.unibuc.ro</a>)\; </p>\n<p>Silvia Manzo (manzosa@yahoo.com.ar)</p>
