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.

Book excerpt: In this collection of essays originally published in 1625, Bacon delves in to a variety of topics, using inductive reasoning to find truth based on observations of the world. The application of inductive reason to scientific and philosophical pursuits was a breakthrough in the history of human knowledge. Students of history and philosophy, as well as those intrigued by the world's great minds, can find in these essays Sir Francis Bacon's commentary on such topics as: .Death .Religion .Beauty .Friendship .Anger .The Nature of Men SIR FRANCIS BACON (1561-1626) was a British scientist and philosopher who is best remembered for inventing the scientific method of hypothesis and experimentation that is used today. Many of his writings discussed how to use this method for philosophical inquiry. As a man of religion, Bacon was careful to distinguish between reason-based philosophy and faith-based revelation, considering both essential to human thought.

Book excerpt: One of the major political figures of his time, Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) served in the court of Elizabeth I and ultimately became Lord Chancellor under James I in 1617. A scholar, wit, lawyer and statesman, he wrote widely on politics, philosophy and science - declaring early in his career that 'I have taken all knowledge as my province'. In this, his most famous work, he considers a diverse range of subjects, such as death and marriage, ambition and atheism, in prose that is vibrant and rich in Renaissance learning. Bacon believed that rhetoric - the force of eloquence and persuasion - could lead the mind to the pure light of reason, and his own rhetorical genius is nowhere better expressed than in these vivid essays.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bacon's Essays: Edited With Introduction and Notes In preparing this edition of Bacon's Essays I have had two objects in view. In the first place I have endeavoured to provide the general reader with information which shall enable him to understand the Essays, and in the second place I have endeavoured to convey the information in such a form that he may read them with enjoyment. It is only the advanced scholar who can understand Bacon without the aid of threefold explanations, - explanations of the language, of the thought, and of the allusions. With regard to Bacon's language, Mr Reynolds says that 'almost every page of the Essays bristles with difficulties, some of them the more likely to mislead because event careful reader, not familiar with the language of Bacon's age, might fail to detect them for what they are.' I have therefore added footnotes which explain these verbal difficulties and furnish an English rendering of the numerous Latin quotations. From these footnotes the reader can obtain the interpretation of Bacon's language without repeatedly turning the pages to hunt for words in a Glossary. Interruptions of this sort inevitably rob a book of much of its charm, and one aim of this edition is to make it possible, as we said, for Bacon to be read with enjoyment.

Download or read book The Essays by Francis Bacon written by Francis Bacon and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essays was the first published book by the philosopher, statesman and jurist Francis Bacon. Includes 58 essays. The Essays are written in a wide range of styles, from the plain and unadorned to the epigrammatic. They cover topics drawn from both public and private life, and in each case the essays cover their topics systematically from a number of different angles, weighing one argument against another. Translations into French and Italian appeared during Bacon's lifetime. This collection contains fifty-eight essays, written with a perfect mastery of language in a spirit of superb confidence. Later researches made clear the extent of Bacon's borrowings from the works of Montaigne, Aristotle and other writers, but the Essays have nevertheless remained in the highest repute. The 19th century literary historian Henry Hallam wrote that "They are deeper and more discriminating than any earlier, or almost any later, work in the English language".
