Bacon, Francis (philosopher) (1561-1626), English philosopher and statesman, one of the pioneers of modern scientific thought. Bacon was born on January 22, 1561, at York House, in the Strand, London, and educated at Trinity College, University of Cambridge. Elected to the House of Commons in 1584, he served until 1614. He wrote letters of sound advice to Elizabeth I, queen of England, but his suggestions were never implemented, and he completely lost favor with the queen in 1593, when he opposed a bill for a royal subsidy. He regained the respect of the court, however, with the accession of James I to the English throne in 1603. Bacon proposed schemes for the union of England and Scotland and recommended measures for dealing with Roman Catholics. For these efforts he was knighted on July 23, 1603, was made a commissioner for the union of Scotland and England, and was given a pension in 1604. His Advancement of Learning was published and presented to the king in 1605. Two years later he was appointed solicitor general. In the last session of the first Parliament held (February 1611) under James I, the differences between Crown and Commons grew critical, and Bacon took the role of mediator, despite his distrust of James's chief minister, Robert Cecil, 1st earl of Salisbury. On Salisbury's death in 1612,...

Francis Bacon Also Read English Law Hampton Court LGBT England Marlowe/Shakespeare Related AIA Sites London There is a legend that Francis Bacon was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. Some scholars maintain that he was the true author of Shakespeare's works. There is, however, little doubt that he devised the deductive system for empirical research, which rightly earned him the title 'Father of Modern Science'. He was also a charming man, able politician and one of the greatest prose stylists in the English language The youngest son of Nicholas Bacon, the Lord Keeper of the Seal of Elizabeth I, Francis was born in London on 22nd January 1561, at York House off the Strand. He was introduced to the Royal court in 1556 (the Queen called him her "Little Lord Keeper") and entered Trinity College, Cambridge, at the age of twelve. He later described his tutors as "Men of sharp wits, shut up in their cells of a few authors, chiefly Aristotle, their Dictator".

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Francis Bacon Francis Bacon was born in London on January 22, 1561, the younger of two sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1573, at age 12 and studied there for two years. Bacon later described his tutors as "Men of sharp wits, shut up in their cells of a few authors, chiefly Aristotle, their Dictator." This statement is indicative of Bacon's rejection of Aristotelianism and the beginning of his embrace of the new Renaissance Humanism. His father died when Bacon was eighteen and, because Bacon was the youngest, he remained virtually penniless. The only way he saw to establish himself, both financially and socially, was to study law. In 1576, Bacon was admitted to Gray's Inn, where he studied and became one of the finest lawyers in England, thus attracting the attention of the Queen. In 1584, at the age of twenty-three, he won a seat in the House of Commons. He attempted to gain the post of solicitor general but failed due to Queen Elizabeth's dislike of policies he had supported in Parliament It was not until James I became King that Bacon's career advanced. In 1602, Bacon was knighted; and in 1605 he married Alice Barnham, the daughter of a London alderman. He became solicitor general and eventually took over his father's old position of the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. He became Lord Chancellor, in 1618; and that same year, at the age of fifty-seven, he was established as Baron Verulam.

"Mahomet made the people believe that he would call a hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers for the observers of the Law. The people assembled; Mahomet called the hill to come to him again and again; and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill." Francis Bacon (1561-1626), British philosopher, essayist, statesman. Essays, "Of Boldness," (1597-1625). Referring to a tradition relating to Muhammad. "So," Bacon explained, "these men, when they have promised great matters, and failed most shamefully (yet if they have the perfection of boldness), they will but slight it over, and make a turn, and no more ado." This is the first appearance of the proverb in English. "For a crowd is not company; and faces are but a gallery of pictures; and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love."

The path involves Ancient Wisdom and Philosophy, the Mysteries, Cabala, Hermeticism, Magia, Neoplatonism, Alchemy, Geomancy, Christian teachings, the Arts and Sciences, Physics and Metaphysics, Drama, Entertainment and the Shakespeare authorship mystery.

Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Father of Modern Science Francis Bacon was born in London, England on January 22, 1561. His father was an attendant to the Court of Queen Elizabeth I. Bacon was raised along with his seven older brothers and sisters at York House. He entered Trinity College in 1573. He pursued a career in law after the death of his father in 1576 and in 1584 became a Member of Parliament. In 1618 he became Lord High Chancellor - a position of royal prestige. Bacon is best known in the modern world as the "Father of Modern Science" for his development of the experimental approach to research. His life included episodes in the center of many historic events. As a result, he is one of England's most famous historical figures. In all the volumes of writing about this celebrated man, references to his homosexuality are most often omitted. Francis Bacon and His "Attendants" Although he married in 1909, it was common knowledge that Francis Bacon favored the company of his young male attendants. His mother wrote letters complaining of her son's choice of bed companions, although it seems that she was more disturbed by the class differences than the fact that they were male. Bacon wrote passionately on the virtues of "masculine love." "Although nuptial love maketh mankind, friendly love perfecteth it." - Francis Bacon - "Of Love"
