Francis? Bacon 12 was admitted to Trinity College affiliated to Cambridge University with honors. Shortly after entering the school, Bacon observed that the courses offered by the college had many disadvantages. And he was quite dissatisfied with Aristotle's philosophy taught in the course of scholasticism at that time. Because he thinks Aristotle's philosophy has no practical effect on life.
Bacon, who was just 15 years old, publicly declared that it was a big mistake for professors at Cambridge University in England to base their knowledge on Aristotle's philosophy. 1579 At the end of the year, Bacon, who was penniless, applied for the prestigious Gray Law School in England at that time, specializing in law.
Bacon, 2 1 year-old, totally relied on his own efforts, obtained the graduation qualification with excellent results, and also received a law degree from Gelai Law School.
Bacon, 22, relied on his uncle William? Cisel's power in the British royal family was mixed into the position of a court clerk in the supervision agency under the royal family.
Bacon was elected as a member of the British Parliament. After his busy official activities, Bacon has always been engaged in writing.
At the Christmas party in the year of historical achievement, a short play created by Bacon was staged. In the play, through the mouth of an adviser in the palace, the Queen was put forward with four proposals for developing national science, which won the Queen's repeated praise and applause on the spot.
After that, Bacon soon published a series of academic and artistic works, expressing his progressive thought of reviving the motherland's science and thoroughly reforming rigid philosophy in theoretical or literary form.
Bacon's idea of developing the science of the motherland was further improved and developed in his book New Island. In his utopian novel New Island, Bacon described his scientific ideal in a comprehensive and detailed way with the help of the vivid description of Solomon Palace.
Bacon published a famous book "Theory of Scientific Advancement" with an extremely serious attitude in. Publicize the value of knowledge.
After Bacon entered middle age, he became more diligent and wrote a lot. During this period, his major works include: New Tools, An Introduction to Natural History and Experimental History, Thoughts and Prospects, On the Wisdom of the Ancient People, New Island, Anthology of Bacon's Essays and Henry's Seventh Chronicle, etc.
Bacon's thought of developing science and the slogan of "knowledge is power" reflected the requirement of the British bourgeoisie to attach importance to science and develop capitalist production at that time, which was consistent with the historical development process, so it was a progressive thought and slogan.
Bacon's slogan "knowledge is power" raised knowledge to an unprecedented height for the first time. Inspire generations of intellectuals who are interested in the cause of human progress to explore and study diligently.
Bacon spent the last five years of his life in decline. Although he is often troubled by poverty, he tries his best to study philosophy. During these five years, he finished his greatest Latin work "On the Worship of Learning" and published an expanded edition of "Essays". He was still busy with his work until the last minute of his life. In the article "On Death", he claimed that he "wished to die in a passionate search, so that it would be no different for a person to be wounded and fall in blood, and feel no pain at that time."
Bacon is the greatest figure in the history of modern British thought and one of the best figures in the history of modern human thought. Marx said that he was "the true ancestor of British materialism and the whole modern experimental science", and he created a set of cognitive methods of "experiment-observation-induction", which created a brand-new cognitive road for the establishment of modern natural science.
