Resumen:
The kernel of Bacon?s cosmology maintains that God created matter ex nihilo without forms; then, during the work of the six days the confused chaotic matter was fashioned with forms into its best possible schematism by the Word of God; afterwards, the schematism created by the Word was dramatically changed as a consequence of man?s sin; finally, a last stage of the history of nature will take place which has not yet been revealed to us. In this paper I will explore Bacon?s characterization of matter across the different stages of the ?history of the universe? envisaged in his cosmology.
