FRANCIS BACON
(by Israel Levine)
Francis Bacon(1561-1626) is considered to be an outstanding English philosopher, statesman, essayist, Lord Chancellor of England.
The career of Francis Bacon is an unusual mixture of opposites. On the one hand, his life is crowded with activity, political and legal; he is the faithful councilor of James, and Lord Chancellor of England. His interests are those of the Court, Foreign Policy, Parliamentary struggles, Privilege and Prerogative, and all other concerns of English history of that time.
On the other hand, he is a philosopher, devoted to contemplation and study; and his philosophy is no ordinary arm-chair system of life, but is an attempt to give an entirely new direction to human thinking, to sweep away the relicts of barren Medieval dogmatism, and to lay the foundations of the only true, fertile, and practicable mode of research. A person who can make his mark in two diverse spheres of human expression must evidently be the possessor of unusually brilliant gifts.
Bacon’s achievements in these different directions, however, have called forth varied estimates. He was more of success, it is generally granted, in philosophy than in public affairs.
In philosophy Bacon stands as a prophet, the interpreter who introduces his generation and all succeeding generations to the limitless possibilities of scientific progress. Not his own individual discoveries, not even his appreciation of the changes in the men’s minds and outlook which inventions and the voyages of discovery and the spirit of the Renaissance were helping to foster; not these, but his espousal of a great cause, the cause of the true learning and fertile science, and advocacy of that cause with all the wealth of intellect, constitute Bacon’s claims to greatness and to a permanent niche in the ranks of the English thinkers. He expounded his cause with clarity, force, impressive imagery, majesty, and even passion. He set before men an ideal of human progress and advancement, an ideal of mutual service and devotion to common good.
