The Philosophy Of Sir Francis Bacon

[@climatedeceptionnetwork4122]

I'm 74 and just now learning about Bacon. I came through another route late in life, too, Popper. This is a good video and I could have used this information in my late teens to great benefit.

[@LetsTalkPhilosophy]

That is wonderful to hear, I am glad to have you in the community! I very rarely see anyone under the age of 18 discover philosophy outside of "philosophy as self-help" or the occasional introductory college course. This is not surprising as it is natural, I think, for people to seek to better their lives first and only later, if their disposition suits it, dive deeper into the lives and minds of these great men and women. I hope you continue discovering new minds and never lose the thirst for knowledge which for most is the passing luxury of youth. As we have seen with so many (Plato comes to mind) there can be great rewards to reap from seeking knowledge throughout one's life! It makes me happy to see so many individuals of different backgrounds enjoying my videos and gaining value from them; seeing this makes me extremely happy to have started this channel. I hope to begin posting more in the future, let me know if you have any recommendations of who to cover next, cheers friend!

The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm was my first read into philosophy that stuck with me into adulthood I was 18. Very short read or video on KZbin. Philosophy is the love of Wisdom by definition.

I had a well known psychic channeler tell me that I was Francis Bacon in my past life. I didn’t know who he was but when I looked him up I realized how similar our topics of thinking were. It gave me chills. Now I’m reading a book called “Flow” by Mihaly C and he brings up Francis Bacon. This type of phenomenons and synchronicities tend to happen to me a lot.

Idols of the tribe, and “truth is the daughter of time, not authority”. This is such a breath of fresh air in our time of politicians determining what is science, and quoting preponderance of some people and some profession as proof that there should be no further inquiry and the argument has been settled. How strange we should have to travel 400 years from this man, two need to be reminded of the place we started from

[@mrh6414]

What many don’t understand about Bacon was that he was a Christian man. So those who think science and God do not go together; do not understand nature.

[@joelhc9703]

How you arrive to that conclusion from that premise is an equally jump of faith as to how you believe in God. If God is supernatural that means it's outside of nature but there's no outside so "he/that" is not. On the other hand if he/it exist then is only able to do it as being part of nature but the problem comes with the classical characteristics or attributes of God: non physical, non material, non temporal, non spacial...the same attributes of the no existence.

[@platosbeard4449]

First of all, Bacon was not a “Christian man” in the typical sense of that term in he current day. He was a man attracted to the occult as his diaries, writings and associations would reveal. To the extent that the religion of his day was a part of occult sphere, then one may call him a studier of Christianity, but he also studied the so called Pagan religions and philosophies so one cannot narrow him down to merely a “Christian man”. He did however, explore nature beyond physical causes, and referred to a Deity or Intelligence external to, but coeval with nature. To that extent, he was no mere materialist. His works should be studied and the great mind behind those works brought into closer familiarity. He was, in the final analysis, a man interested in the sacred mysteries.

[@EaglePhoenix11]

For me it's more of Science and Dark age religions than god.

I'm 68 now. When I was 8, I discovered that my paternal grandmother had collected an extensive library. It was possible to order old books from the Library of Congress. I was a voracious reader even by that age. I remember reading the Essays of Sir Francis Bacon. Oddly enough that printing was illustrated by Salvidore Dali. When I was 16, I was able to take proficiency tests to enter college. When I was still a first semester senior in high school because of the tests I took, I was already a sophomore in college for the credit those tests gave me.

Its more that the reverence for Aristotle clouded the mind of those who came before Bacon, they did call him "The Philosopher." There were those who likely used a similar system and/or made similar observations; however none put pen to paper and mapped out as with grand authority the "method to his madness," so to say.

Don’t care for Bacon. While science is valuable and has led to improvements, it is also a very inflexible system and method of inquiry that itself leads to certain dogmas and “scientism”. While science is rational and a very valuable form of inquiry, we must never forget that there are many things that cannot be studied empirically and therefore multiple ways to interpret and investigate the world around us. Some things are very “non-empirical” (like ethics). Let’s never forget this. Bacon was extremely empirical, and I take issue with that. One need only read Kant’s Critique to notice extreme issues with that kind of thinking.

[@LetsTalkPhilosophy]

I think Aristotle was of an incredible intellect. While he may have been wrong in most things, for his time it was truly astounding what he accomplished. The inductive method is far more accurate, but I will give aristotle his due. In an age of superstition he took the first steps of experimentation and Examination.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

" Perhaps there are only three books which can be said to be really important. One is written by Aristotle. The name of the book is Organum. It means the first principle of wisdom. The second book is written by Bacon, who is the father of all modern science. His book's name is Novum Organum, new principle of wisdom. Aristotle is thought to be the father of Western logic, mathematics and related sciences, and Bacon is certainly the most important figure who has created the whole of science, the whole technology that has made the West strong, rich, affluent, healthy. And the third important book is Ouspensky's Tertium Organum, the third principle of wisdom. Lord Bacon, a great scientific mind, has written in his famous book, Novum Organum, that Pythagoras was a great fanatic. Now, this is utter nonsense. Bacon's book is really great; except for this one statement, the book is of immense value. It is said that there are three great books in the world. First is Aristotle's Organum - Organum means principle. The second is Bacon's Novum Organum - new principle. And third is Ouspensky's Tertium Organum - the third principle. And they ARE really great books, incomparable. In the West this is very significant. People go on writing books and books about whether Shakespeare ever existed or not. As if it makes any difference. The plays that Shakespeare wrote are so beautiful - why not look into the plays and love and enjoy them? This seems to be going astray to ask whether Shakespeare existed or not. And the problem arises because it is thought that Shakespeare was an uneducated man so how could he write such beautiful things? Have you ever known very educated men to write beautiful things? It is thought that it was not Shakespeare but Lord Bacon who was the real author. But I cannot trust this because I have read Lord Bacon's other books - they have nothing to compare with Shakespeare. Lord Bacon is just ordinary. He may have been a very learned man, he may have been a great scholar, but his books are ordinary, rubbish. Just because he is Lord Bacon and a very famous name, who is deceived? Have you ever heard the name of any book by Lord Bacon? Who is bothered? How could Lord Bacon write these Shakespearian plays? Under his name he has not written a single masterpiece so how could he write one under a pseudo-name? And if he can write such beautiful plays as the Shakespearian plays are, under a pseudo-name, then what was he doing when he was writing under his own name? It doesn't seem right. Thinking is like that - it goes on missing the whole point. If you really want to have any contact with reality, then thinking is not the bridge, it is the barrier. In only three hundred years science has touched great heights. And the reason? The reason is simple. The reason is that Bacon introduced experiment into the world of science. In just three hundred years so much has happened - it did not happen in three thousand years or even in thirty thousand years. It is because of one man, Bacon. He changed the whole course of science and the whole course of human consciousness just by creating a new door of experimentation. He said, "Speculation is not going to help. People have speculated down the ages and nothing has happened. They go on quarrelling about theories and those theories don't mean a thing." He introduced experiment. You will be surprised to know where Bacon got the idea of experiment from. You will not believe it! He got it from Sufism. He was a great reader of Sufi books, he was immensely interested in Sufi books, and from the Sufi ideas he got the idea that if experiment is the door to the inner world, why could it not be the door to the outer? Science owes much to Sufism because of this. If some day the right sources are searched for, then the real fathers of science will be the Sufis, not the Greek philosophers, Aristotle, Plato and others, no. They were all speculators. From where did the idea of experiment enter into the mind of Bacon? It entered from Sufism. He may have read this story or something else, but it entered from Sufism because Sufis are very insistent on experiment. And if religion is also going to grow, then experiment has to become its very foundation. Just as science has reached such a great height within such a small time limit - three hundred years - so religion can also have great possibilities if it becomes experimental. Religion has much to learn from Sufism. Sufism is the most essential religion - that's why I say it is existential, experimental, experiential."

This is only true for europeans life span, in the Americas before 1500 Natives lived very long lives. europeans lived in a horrific hell scape of plague and pestilence their whole existence and died young. until they arrived in the Americas and learned to be human from actual people who prioritized clean water and invented most modern medicines. of course europeans still made sure to drive all life and fertile land in the Americas to extinction, but its all their good at.

Hmm, forgive me if I do not take you at your word. I am unsure if they lived longer or not as I am no paleopathologist, but I would doubt that they lived on average much longer than 35-45. I would have to do much more research in an area I am not so concerned with to gain a clearer picture. Thanks for watching though!
