Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Roger Bacon's Letter' provides a fascinating window into the mind of one of the most enigmatic and visionary scholars of the Middle Ages. Attributed to the 13th-century Franciscan friar Roger Bacon, this text explores the boundaries between natural science and magic, arguing that many phenomena deemed supernatural are actually the result of natural laws and human ingenuity. Bacon famously dismisses the efficacy of magic while simultaneously predicting future technological marvels, including telescopes, horseless carriages, and flying machines, all through the application of mathematical and experimental rigor.
