Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Bacon's "Philosophy" Examined: To Which Is Added, the Mental Process of Experience; An Essay Read at the Catholic Academy, January, 1877 The essay contained in the following pages has for its aim the justification of a heavy censure against the spirit of Baconism - not for any effort its author may have made for furthering the study of physical science, but on account of the inimical design that effort has served to mask - of striking at the soul of all human Philosophy in its noble freedom of universal Speculation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essays (1625) is a collection of writings by Francis Bacon, one of England’s most prominent philosophers and scientists whose work was central to shaping the ideals of the Renaissance and scientific revolution. Although Bacon is remembered today as the father of modern science, this collection contains his thoughts on mostly moral and civil matters, highlighting his immense skill as a philosopher and statesman. Filled with references to and quotes from such biblical and classical sources as Seneca, Epicurus, Solomon, David, and Caesar—to name only a few—Bacon grounds his work in the rich continuum of human history, religion, and philosophy. In “Of Death,” he compares the human fear of death to a child’s fear of the dark to argue that it is an essential and natural aspect of human life. In “Of Revenge,” Bacon weighs the consequences of vindictiveness against the merciful necessity of forgiveness. In “Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature,” Bacon differentiates between the innate goodness of humanity and the glaring need for the cultivation of goodness as a habit in human society. These are only some of the subjects Bacon approaches with his hallmark rational and concise style. Others include the relationship between parents and children, the nature of superstition, and the need to privilege utility over style in homebuilding. Overall, The Essays is both a wide-ranging meditation on daily and eternal matters of human existence and a fascinating look at the particulars of life in Renaissance England. Completed only a year before his death, The Essays is one of Francis Bacon’s most accessible works, as well as a fitting culmination of a life and career dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. This text illuminates for us the thoughts and feelings of one of history’s finest intellectuals, a man whose ideas continue to shape our world and the way we see it over four centuries later. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Essays by Francis Bacon is a classic of English literature and philosophy reimagined for modern readers.

OF TRUTH NOTE 1 Jesting Pilate: John xviii, 38. Was Pilate jesting? B., at any rate, makes him a type of the cynical skeptic. 2 In giddiness: Lat. "in a whirl of thoughts." 3 Philosophers of that kind: the Skeptics, of whom Pyrrho of Elis (365-c. 275 B. C.) was the first; he taught that if sense and reason singly deceive us, the two together cannot be expected to give us truth. We perceive things not as they really are, but as they appear in accidental relations; hence absolute knowledge is impossible. Other skeptics were Arcesilaus (315-241 B. C.) and Carneades of Cyrene (d. 129 B. C.), who represent the Middle and the New Academy respectively. 4 Discoursing wits: Lat. "windy and rambling." B. may here refer to Francisco Sanchez, the Portuguese-Spanish physician and skeptical philosopher (1562-1632), whose treatise That Nothing is Known (1581) begins: "I do not know even this, that I know nothing. I guess, however, that neither I nor others know anything." This treatise made a great stir at the time. 5 One of the later school: Lucian, Philopseudes, i. Cf.

Download or read book Francis Bacon on Motion and Power written by Guido Giglioni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and unitary study of the philosophy of Francis Bacon, with special emphasis on the medical, ethical and political aspects of his thought. It presents an original interpretation focused on the material conditions of nature and human life. In particular, coverage in the book is organized around the unifying theme of Bacon’s notion of appetite, which is considered in its natural, ethical, medical and political meanings. The book redefines the notions of experience and experiment in Bacon’s philosophy of nature, shows the important presence of Stoic themes in his work as well as provides an original discussion of the relationships between natural magic, prudence and political realism in his philosophy. Bringing together scholarly expertise from the history of philosophy, the history of science and the history of literature, this book presents readers with a rich and diverse contextualization of Bacon’s philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.
