'Beyond, both the Old World, and the New': Authority and Knowledge in the works of Francis Bacon, with special reference to the New Atlantis
No full textPhDThis study investigates the role of authority in the works of Francis Bacon,
arguing that the issue of authority provides not only an interpretation of New
Atlantis, but an important structural component of his body of works. From
the first manifestation of his philosophical project to his last works of natural
history, authority is an all-pervasive issue - the authority of nature, of
scripture, of the named author, and how authority functions in the
dissemination of natural knowledge. Chapter one argues that the publication
of New Atlantis alongside Sylva sylvarum in 1626/7 was more the result of
William Rawley's need to assert his own authority as the protector and
disseminator of Bacon's textual legacy than an appreciation of the work's own
qualities. Chapter two considers Bacon's views of history and time,
suggesting that Bacon not only conceived of a new, progressive mode of
historical time which would allow for the assertion of a textual authority based
on the records of a civilisation unbroken by the vicissitudes of time, but that
he figured these theories in New Atlantis. Chapter three argues that Bacon
used theology both as defence and imperative to his intellectual programme,
while his attempt to move beyond the deterministic, Calvinist world-view to
allow for multiple possible futures, or `chance': Bacon could then present
experiment as the way of eliminating chance, in order to accelerate the rate of
new discovery. Chapter four investigates Bacon's manipulations of textual
authority, from the early rehearsals of the Instauratio magna to the
performance of reliability in print in Sylva sylvarum. Finally, the afterword
seeks to suggest that the New Atlantis hinges on the issues of authority with
which Bacon engaged throughout his career and writings: in the issue of
authority, Francis Bacon found the beginning and the end of his philosophy

The spatial and temporal variability of the East Greenland Coastal Current from historic data
No full textAnalysis of historic hydrographic data collected between 1932 and 1997 show a freshwater jet flowing southward along the East Greenland Shelf between Denmark Strait and Cape Farewell with a typical baroclinic transport of between 0.5 and 2 Sv. This jet has been labelled the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC). The depth of the jet is a function of transport but the lateral extent of the jet is mainly defined by the position of the shelf break. Comparing section transports from different times and locations it is seen that significant short-term variability masks both longer-term variability and latitudinal variations. The data suggest an increase in EGCC transport during the early 1930s Greenland warm period followed by reduced average fluxes thereafter but there is insufficient data for this result to be considered statistically significant. In addition there is no evidence of significant growth in the transport as the jet progresses south as might be expected with the addition of run-off from the SE Greenland fjords
