Reviews
Goes great with everything. Bacon, his amanuensis Hobbes, and Montaigne are the patriarchs of Western modernist thought. One can disagree or turn-away in contempt at a specific early-modern claim's anachronism, but more-often-than-not it will resurface in some utterly current source. Disputed or not, their ideas haven't become irrelevant.
