AB - This essay examines the seventeenth-century European Mechanical Philosophy as an issue of Environmental History today, focused on recent Baconian debates which set off from Carolyn Merchant's work on the death of Nature in 1980. Merchant and her ecofeminist followers have repeatedly argued that Baconian experimentalism based on analogies with female Nature had been one of the fatal causes of Environmental Crisis today. Analysing a couple of debates on Bacon in 2006 and 2008, I try to reveal that Baconian Mechanical Philosophy was not the masculine and violent mechanization of female and passive Nature but the progressive (and never ending) mechanization of active, capricious and organic Nature.
