When Bacon Changes the Definition of Love in of the Wisdom of the Ancients

34 To understand Bacon`s teaching on the error of philosophy, the reader must sort through a series of confusing discrepancies between the initial account of the fable and its subsequent interpretation. For example, in the first presentation of the story, Bacon says that Orpheus looks back and fails to bring his wife back to life because of her impatience out of “love and care.” In the interpretive section, however, Bacon says that Orpheus, due to his curiosity and haste, failed to bring his wife back to life and therefore failed in natural philosophy. Similarly, in the original fable, he says that Orpheus sings the songs of bourgeois philosophy out of melancholy (this is how the city agrees, by the way, because Orpheus is sad and sulky); In interpretation, Bacon suggests that this masks a yearning for glory—Orpheus` true motivation for civil philosophy. Such divergences pose a great challenge to interpretation, and “Orpheus” is full of them – more than any other fable (Studer, “Grapes Ill-Trodden”, 125). In general, I read Bacon`s interpretive section as his attempt to clarify what is an obscure phenomenon in the fable. However, the spatial limitations here prevent me from offering a detailed analysis of each of these discrepancies. The mystery of Francis Bacon is not something that can be fully understood in a single session, for he is a unique genius whose influence goes beyond what most of us can imagine. How we approach mystery is important, and Manly Hall is a fantastic writer and genius himself, making this essay below a great place to highlight your curiosity about Bacon`s connection to the SEJNES. I didn`t know much about Francis Bacon when I started the quest, except perhaps a vague memory from high school about his role in formulating the scientific method, but over the last five years or so, the more I search, the more ways I find that lead to Bacon.

Over time, forgotten or neglected things come back to the forefront, and I think this is especially the case in the example given in the field of learning by Francis Bacon. Sir Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, Grand Chancellor of England, was one of the universal geniuses of all time and can be listed in the same classification as Leonardo da Vinci. who took all knowledge as his province. Bacon`s position in learning is unique because, through his personality and abilities, he facilitated in his own nature a unification of knowledge that is very rarely found in a personality. Bacon`s areas of expertise initially included the legal profession. In this, he acceded to the highest possible office, next to the king in power. As a great chancellor and legislator, he was an exceptional genius of his time.

His progress in learning was not much less important. He can probably be considered the father of modern science and his entire approach to knowledge was highly scientific. He recognized the error in the academic traditions of his time and laid the foundation for what we call the inductive system of reasoning. Under inductive thinking, science has gone from a critical background to one of the most powerful positions in the world today. He was a philosopher by great part, a person whose intellectual abilities enabled him to integrate most of the great philosophical systems that had preceded him. Not only was he well versed in Western thought, but in much of his specialized philosophical research, he seems to have instinctively incorporated a considerable portion of Buddhist concepts, although he probably did not know it. Then there was his literary work in the first place. He was a writer of extraordinary genius. The essays he wrote in his youth are still considered perfect examples of English literature. He had an immense vocabulary and a wonderful ability to turn well-meditated and thoughtful thoughts.

In his literary field, he was a poet. He also transcribed and poetized a number of David`s Psalms. It is authoritatively assumed that he was also the last editor of the King James Version of the Bible.In a devout religious man, in addition to his many and very different achievements intellectually and materially.
