Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-18 00:00:00 Elena Aladina Bacon was not an ordinary writer that we used to find and still do. He was exceptional with his abilities to convey ideas. Sometimes his logic might seem absurd to the readers. Sometimes the author's ideas might not make any sense at all. However, there are many things about his essays (and that's proven because we still discuss these) which sets him apart. Practical philosopher, he dealt more in ideas which could be 'useful' for the world rather than 'ideal'.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-30 00:00:00 Yasuyuki Koketsu Both in his life and in his writings Bacon always showed the practical bias. He completely accepted the Renaissance idea that it is life on earth which is important and that all studies should be directed to improving that life. In his political attitude, which was almost Machiavellian, he separated his legal decisions from morality and ethical ideas; in his scientific writings he aimed to give mankind mastery over nature by discoveries and inventions; in his essays, he hoped to teach man mastery over the world in social and civil life. His essays are scientific, which make one of the most important figures in the philosophy of science.
