Download or read book Francis Bacon written by Robert P. Ellis and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the time Shakespeare inaugurated the golden age of English drama, the young Francis Bacon proposed to take "all knowledge to be my province." He soon realized the difficulty of that but in the process he posed two related questions, which he understood better than any other man of his time: Can human beings respect and obey nature, and Can they also command nature? He asked many other questions considered useless and impractical in his time but vital in ours. After a busy career as an English parliamentarian, judge and advisor of King James I, Bacon published in his final years The Advancement of Learning, which included his New Atlantis, with its prescient vision of human accomplishments, many achieved only in the past century. The first important book of English essays, it is an investigation of civil and moral problems that continue to engage and perplex us.
Download or read book Sir Francis Bacon written by Biographiq and published by Biographiq. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Francis Bacon - English Philosopher and Statesman is the biography of Sir Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, statesman, and essayist. Bacon is also known as a proponent of the scientific revolution. According to John Aubrey, his dedication may have brought him into a rare historical group of scientists who were killed by their own experiments. His works established and popularized an inductive methodology for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method or simply, the scientific method. In the context of his time such methods were connected with the occult trends of hermeticism and alchemy. Nevertheless, his demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still informs conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603, created Baron Verulam in 1618, and created Viscount St Alban in 1621; without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death. He has also been credited as the creator of the English essay. Sir Francis Bacon - English Philosopher and Statesman is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about this admired English philosopher and statesman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advancement of Learning Francis Bacon - Francis Bacon's The Advancement of Learning (1605) is considered the first major philosophical book written in English. In it, Bacon is concerned with scientific learning: the current state of knowledge, obstacles to its progress, and his own plans for revitalization of schools and universities. Here Bacon sets forth the first account of science as intended for "the relief of man's estate."With this newly designed and reset edition, this important work is again available in paperback. Difficult and fundamental, The Advancement of Learning helps define the modern era."This extraordinary genius, when it was impossible to write a history of what men already knew, wrote one of that which they had to learn." Diderot"Bacon was the first to address the issues that have again become so pressing in our time: Why should we pursue scientific progress? What are the implications of modern science for religion and morality? Does technology enhance or disfigure the human soul? . . . It is therefore hard to imagine a book more attuned to our times." from the new Introduction by Jerry WeinbergerFrancis Bacon (1561-1626) was a philosopher, statesman, and essayist. He served as the attorney general and Lord Chancellor of England and was the author of Novum Organum.

It brings together an extensive collection of Bacon's writing - the major prose in full, together with sixteen other pieces not otherwise available - togive the essence of his work and thinking.Although he had a distinguished career as a lawyer and statesman, Francis Bacon's lifelong goal was to improve and extend human knowledge.

He conceived the Essays (1597, much enlarged in 1625) as a study of the formative influences on human behaviour, psychological and social. In The New Atlantis (1626) he outlined his plan for a scientific research institute in the form of a Utopian fable. In addition tothese major English works this edition includes 'Of Tribute', an important early work here printed complete for the first time, and a revealing selection of his legal and political writings, together with his poetry.A special feature of the edition is its extensive annotation which identifies Bacon's sources and allusions, and glosses his vocabulary.

This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban, PC KC ( 22 January 1561 - 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, and author. He served both as Attorney General and as Lord Chancellor of England. After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution. Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive reasoning and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a sceptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. While his own practical ideas about such a method, the Baconian method, did not have a long-lasting influence, the general idea of the importance and possibility of a sceptical methodology makes Bacon the father of scientific method. This marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, the practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today. In addition to his work in the sciences, Bacon was also a venerable patron of libraries and developed a functional system for the cataloging of books by dividing them into three categories- history, poetry, and philosophy- which could further be divided into more specific subjects and subheadings. Bacon is the first recipient of the Queen's counsel designation and was conferred in 1597 when Queen Elizabeth reserved Bacon as her legal advisor. After the accession of King James I in 1603, Bacon was knighted. He was later created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Alban in 1621.Because he had no heirs, both titles became extinct upon his death in 1626, at 65 years of age. Bacon died of pneumonia, with one account by John Aubrey stating that he had contracted the condition while studying the effects of freezing on the preservation of meat.

Download or read book Essays written by Francis Bacon and published by Mint Editions. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 156 pages. 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.
