Bacon And Shakespeare On Vivisection (1881)

Bacon And Shakespeare On Vivisection (1881) is a book written by William Thomson that examines the views of two prominent figures in English history, Francis Bacon and William Shakespeare, on the controversial practice of vivisection. The book explores the opinions of both men on the ethical implications of vivisection, which involves the dissection of living animals for scientific research. Thomson analyzes Bacon's writings on the subject, which reveal a cautious approach to vivisection and a concern for the humane treatment of animals. He also examines Shakespeare's plays, which contain several references to the practice of vivisection and suggest a critical view of its use. Through his analysis, Thomson argues that both Bacon and Shakespeare were ahead of their time in recognizing the importance of animal welfare and the need for ethical considerations in scientific research. Overall, Bacon And Shakespeare On Vivisection (1881) provides a unique perspective on the historical debate surrounding vivisection and its ethical implications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
