false <![CDATA[Francis Bacon: The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172494201m/180749.jpg 180749 2 This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together an extensive collection of Bacon's writing - the major prose in full, together with sixteen other pieces not otherwise available - to give the essence of his work and thinking. Although he had a distinguished career as a lawyer and statesman, Francis Bacon's lifelong goal was to improve and extend human knowledge. In The Advancement of Learning (1605) he made a brilliant critique of the deficiencies of previous systems of thought and proposed improvements to knowledge in every area of human life. He conceived the Essays (1597, much enlarged in 1625) as a study of the formative influences on human behaviour, psychological and social. In The New Atlantis (1626) he outlined his plan for a scientific research institute in the form of a Utopian fable. In addition to these major English works this edition includes 'Of Tribute', an important early work here printed complete for the first time, and a revealing selection of his legal and political writings, together with his poetry. A special feature of the edition is its extensive annotation which identifies Bacon's sources and allusions, and glosses his vocabulary. 2618015 book 12 9 2002 Francis Bacon: The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics) total:22|5:3|4:7|3:10|2:2|1:0| 22 77 52 2 180749 0192840819 9780192840813 21 2 Francis Bacon: The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics) 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172494201m/180749.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/180749.Francis_Bacon_The_Major_Works 5 0 false Mon Oct 15 13:19:42 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 13:19:42 -0700 2007
"the more discordant, therefore, and incredible, the divine mystery is, the more honour is shown to God in believing it, and the nobler is the victory of faith."
