Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, philosopher, essayist, lawyer and statesman, was born in London in 1561. He studied at Cambridge and was enrolled at Gray’s Inn in 1576. In 1584 he entered Parliament as the member for Melcombe Regis, subsequently representing other constituencies. Bacon made the acquaintance of the Earl of Essex, who endeavored to advance him in his career. Nevertheless, having been appointed to investigate the causes of Essex’s revolt in 1601, Bacon was largely responsible for the earl’s conviction. Bacon was appointed Solicitor-General in 1607 and was successively Attorney-General (1613), Lord Keeper (1617) and Lord Chancellor (1618). He was created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Albans in 1621. Later in that year he was charged with bribery and confessed that he had been guilty of ‘corruption and neglect’ but denied that he had ever perverted justice. He was deprived of the Great Seal, fined, imprisoned in the Tower and disabled from sitting in Parliament. Following his release, he retired to the family home at Gorhambury, Hertfordshire, and his remaining years were spent in literary and philosophical work. It was Bacon’s ambition to create a new system of philosophy to replace that of Aristotle, and he has been justly acclaimed as an inspiration to later scientists, rationalists and materialists. Of his philosophical works, the principal and best known are The Advancement of Learning, Novum Organum and De Augmentis. He also wrote several professional works including Maxims of the Law and Reading on the Statue of Uses. Of his literary writings the most important are the Essays (1597; issued in final form in 1625), De Sapientia Veterum, Apophthegms New and Old and a History of Henry VII. Francis Bacon died in 1626

Samenvatting

The New Atlantis is an unfinished utopian novel by Sir Francis Bacon, first published in 1624. Bacon expressed his aspirations and ideals for humankind by portraying a vision of the future of human discovery and great knowledge.

The novel depicts the discovery of a mythical island, Bensalem, discovered by the crew of a European ship after they are lost in the Pacific Ocean somewhere west of Peru.

Bacon focuses on the duty of the state toward science, and his projections for state-sponsored research anticipate many advances in medicine and surgery, meteorology, and machinery.

The inhabitants of Bensalem represent the ideal qualities of Bacon the statesman: generosity and enlightenment, dignity and splendor, piety and public spirit. These were the ideal qualities Bacon wished to see in 17th century England.

Bacon breaks from Plato, Aristotle and other ancient writers by asserting that there is no reason to waste time and energy trying to get human beings to rise to a higher moral condition. Instead, the extraordinary advances of science would make it possible to appease our desires by providing those things that would satisfy our human needs.

SIR FRANCIS BACON (1561–1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist and author. He was extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific revolution. His works established an inductive methodology for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply, the scientific method, a theoretical framework that still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today.
