Francis Bacon

I wish he was companion with the politician. Years he was known as a leading British politician. Almost the biggest part of life and energy he dumped in the affairs of a political career. However, in this book Francis Bacon included solely because the writings of philosophy. In writings that he was like "shaman" a new chapter of his science; he was the first great philosopher to realize that
science and philosophy can change the world, and with a very effective advocate of scientific inquiry.

Almost the biggest part of life and energy he dumped in the affairs of a political career. However, in this book Francis Bacon included solely because the writings of philosophy. In writings that he was like "shaman" a new chapter of his science; he was the first great philosopher to realize that science and philosophy can change the world, and with a very effective advocate of scientific inquiry.
Bacon was born in London in 1561, a son of high-echelon officials of Queen Elizabeth. When the age of twelve he went studying at Trinity College in Cambridge, but only three years came out without a degree away with anything. Starting age sixteen he was working briefly at the British Embassy staff in Paris. But once the age of eighteen entered his father's sudden death left it with only a little money. Perhaps because of that, he studied law and at the age of twenty-one he became a lawyer.
Begin his political career after that. Twenty-three he was elected a member of the House of Commons. But, although he has relatives and relatives of the upper level, and despite the outstanding intelligence, Queen Elizabeth always refused his appointment to the position of important and beneficial. One reason is because of his courage against a tax plan in parliament who steadfastly supported the Queen. Because Bacon extravagant life, unconventional, and around, he's always there, surrounded by debt debt here (one time been arrested for not paying debts affairs) he can handle life so freely.
Bacon became a friend and adviser to the Prince of Essex, a popular young nobleman and a great political ambitions. Instead, Prince Essex Bacon had a friend who's honest and at the same time acting as his protector. However, when the Prince of Essex excessive ambition, asking him making plans to lead a coup to overthrow Queen Elizabeth, Bacon advised him to remain loyal to the Queen. Let me have advised that, Prince Essex daring experiment continued kupnya intentions. It turned out that the coup failed and Bacon held an active role in the prosecution process of the Prince on charges of treason. Prince Essex beheaded head, rolling like marbles. The entire incident caused a bad impression on the public to Bacon.
Queen Elizabeth died in 1603 and Bacon became adviser to his successor, King James I. King James I did not always heed the advice of Bacon, although he respected him. In the reign of James I, Bacon thrive in government circles. Year 1607 was a general consultant in the field of law and in 1613 he became attorney general. The steps do not stop there, in 1618 he was appointed president of House of Lords, a position that roughly Setarap with justices on the Supreme Court of the United States. In that year he received the title of "baron" and in 1621 was crowned again be "Viscount", a title of nobility on the "barons" but under "earl."
But, come to blows. As a judge, Bacon received "gifts" from the defendant. Although this is somewhat common types also occur at the time, and still is forbidden. Political opponents in parliament not to waste this good opportunity to kicked out of his chair. Bacon admitted and thrown in jail, located in the "Tower of London," the tower of London. Not only that, he must pay a large fine. And not only that, he was forbidden to work in a government office forever. Bacon King immediately freed from prison and freed the burden the fine. However, with this event's over Bacon's political history.
Now, people can only remember very few examples of snapper class politician who was arrested for blackmail, or similar behavior that damage the public trust. Normally, a often, if people like begituan caught, they howled and defend themselves with Umbar way that the others were just awful, just penipunya, as bangsatnya. If howling is heard and accepted seriously, there will be no political crook who should be punished unless all bastards punished first kind. Comment Bacon in a different confession. He said, "I was the judge in the UK terjujur for fifty years, and I grumble artisans and craftsmen terpolos criticism in the British parliament for 200 years."
Political career was so active and so creative seems to have little time left for other jobs job. Nevertheless, Bacon's fame is so durable, and its place in the list of this book, is due consideration philosophical writings rather than his political activity. His first important work was his book, Essays, first appeared in 1597 and gradually expanded. These essays are written with the solid and excellent style, contains a wealth of depth, not only in political issues but also about personal happenings as well. Some typical examples such as:
Young people create more appropriate than a decision, is more suited to act than to give consideration, more suited to working on new projects rather than an established business ... Old people too often refuse, to negotiate too long, doing too little ... Of course good if we could combine the two jobs, because the value contained in each age could be paving the inherent deficiencies in the body of both ...
About young people and age
He who has a wife and children have a risk of unpleasant future.
About marriage and single life
(Bacon himself married, but had no children).
However, Bacon's most important writings concerning the philosophy of science. He planned a major work Instauratio Magna or Great Renewal in six parts. The first part is to review the state of our knowledge. The second part of the review outlines a new system of science. The third section bersisikan empirical data sets. The fourth section contains a new system of scientific illustrations in practice. The fifth section presents tentative conclusions. And the sixth part of a synthesis of knowledge gained from new methods. Taklah surprisingly, this giant scheme - perhaps the most ambitious work since Aristotle - was never resolved. However, the book The Advancement of Learning (1605) and Novum Organum (1620) can be considered as part of the second resolution mammoth work.
Novum Organum or New Instrument perhaps the most important Bacon book. This book is essentially a statement of acceptance affirmation to the empirical method of investigation. The practice relies entirely on the logic of Aristotle deduktifnya is no use, declined, absurd. Because it needed a new method of study, an inductive method. Science is not a point where the left and take the conclusions from it; but science is something which can reach our goal. To understand this world, first one must "observe" it. First, gather the facts. Then, said Bacon, conclusions from the facts in a way that logical inductive argument. Although scientists do not follow the inductive method of Bacon in all aspects, but the general idea that diutarakannya important research and experiments so intricate sliding motion of the methods used by them ever since.
Bacon's last book is The New Atlantis, an explanation of the country lies in the utopian fantasy island in the Pacific. Although the main story was inspired by Utopia Sir Thomas More, the entire subject matter contained in Bacon's completely different book. In the Bacon book, prosperity and justice in the country and ideally depend on the direct result of the centralization of scientific investigation. With implied, of course, Bacon told. its readers that the use of intelligence in a scientific investigation can be made happy and prosperous Europe as well as residents who live in the imaginary island.
People should be told that Francis Bacon was the first modern philosopher. Overall view is secular and not religious (though he believed in the Lord with steadfast conviction). He was a rationalist and not those who believe in superstition; an empirical rather than a dogmatic mencla-mencle logic. In the political field he was a realist and not a theorist. With a deep knowledge of classical knowledge and a strong literary skills, he was sympathetic to science and technology.
Although he was a loyal British, Bacon had a vision beyond the term of his country. He distinguishes 3 types of ambition:
First, they are tasteful expand his power in his own country, a sense of vulgarity and trashy. Second, is working to expand their authority over their own country and his mastery of the population. This is better, though less good quality. However, if people try to establish and expand the power and dominance of mankind throughout the universe, his ambition was no doubt more wisely than the ambition called first.
Even though Bacon was a preacher of knowledge, he himself was not a scientist, or the equivalent of progress done those contemporaries. Bacon considered completely deserted Napier (who had just discovered logarithms) and Kepler, and even the English colleague William Harvey. Bacon rightly considers that "heat is a form of motion," an important scientific ideas. However, in the field of astronomy, he rejected the Copernican thoughts. It must be remembered, Bacon did not try to present the scientific laws are complete and correct. He just simply trying to present the results of any observations that need to be studied. Scientific estimates only meant to encourage further discussion, and not a final answer.
Francis Bacon is not the first person to discover the meaning akliah use inductive inference, and he's also not the first person who understands the benefits that may be achieved by the community of science. However, no one before Bacon had published and spread the idea that area and sesemangat it. More than that, partly because of Bacon's such a good writer, and partly because of his fame as a leading politician, Bacon's attitude toward science really have a great significance. When the "Royal Society of London" (the choice of the elite) was founded in 1662 to promote science, the founders called Bacon as a source of inspiration. And when the great Encyclopedie era it was written "French Reform," the major contributor to the writing as Diderot and d'Alembert, also reiterated his praise to Bacon inspiring to work. If Novum Organum and The New Atlantis a bit less readable than the first one, this caused the messages conveyed by the book was so widely accepted one.
Bacon feasible than the equivalent of French philosopher Rene Descartes, the other drivers of the future of the upcoming science. Bacon's first generation of life from Descartes and he was more persistent than Descartes in terms of proclaiming the importance of research and experiments. However, the significance of these French people in terms of mathematical discovery makes it a little higher in comparison with Bacon.
