The New Atlantis

The depiction of Atlantis as a hub of scientific discovery made me wonder how much Bacon's own ideas shaped the progress we see today. Did anyone else find this utopian vision surprisingly forward-thinking?

The stories of Atlantis seem so utopian yet also hint at the challenges of implementing such visions. I’m curious if others saw this as a critique of political idealism or a genuine blueprint.

Bacon's use of Atlantis as a setting feels like a clever way to explore complex themes. I wonder if this approach was intended to make philosophy more accessible or to provoke deeper reflection.
