Bacon's Relation With His Philosophy

BACON'S RELATIONS WITH HIS PHILOSOPHY

By Allama Muhammad Yousuf Gabriel

The philosophies in the pre-modern ages taught poverty, patience, perseverance, and sacrifice of this transient planet for the sake of the subsequent eternal planet. This planet was to be shunned as an issue of deceit. Love of God was preferred to the enjoy of wealth and this globe. The torture of worldly misery was thus mitigated, and also the calamity was attributed to the will of God and was thus taken with patience. All the givers of revealed religion, excepting possibly Solomon, lived in poverty and preferred poverty to wealth. The lives of all the good teachers of mankind, e.g Socrates, Budha, Christ and the Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, serve as the precedent. Bacon's life on the other had is an example of the worldly pleasure and luxury and engenders hatred for poverty, morality and humility. Epicurus may well only be seen to side with Bacon in this.

Bacon's relation to his own philosophy might be surmised as follows:-

            "Love of wealth, power and ostentation was inherent in the nature of Bacon, that he may give the philosophy of fruit and man's proper of dominion more than nature. And his mind was so set on these issues that he went as far as condemning the moral philosophy and misinterpreting the word of Bible".

         If the tree is recognised by its fruit then the thoughts of Bacon could be recognised by its philosophy. And if the fruit is associated to the tree then the philosophy of Bacon is definitely connected to the mind which made it. Emperor Akber confirmed the philosophy which raised him to the status, that of the Shadow of God. And if Diogenes had offered a philosophy he must naturally had offered the philosophy of Tub-dwelling. And therefore if the individuals had accepted the testy philosophy of Diogenes with as substantially eagerness as they have accepted the odoriferous and flavoursome philosophy of Bacon, then surely the trade of tubs would have flourished to the extent to which the trace of home creating has flourished in the times of Bacon. On the other hand, do what we might possibly to expose Bacon, and clarify Bacon's philosophy, this globe of at this time may perhaps hardly be expected to take notice of it, for indeed, so blindly intoxicated it appears to be by the inebriating effects of the philosophy of fruit and worldly pleasure, that no guidance, no warning could have any effect. Bacon might reign supreme as the greatest and the most genuine benefactor of mankind, till the worst has happened. No doubt, the element of humanity's helplessness in the chains of this universal  economico-industrial set up of the Baconian progress could not be ignored. Bacon during his life had himself constructed and put on the chains, and so have his followers. It may possibly be asked why Bacon had made the attainment of highest areas of great wealth and superb power as the inevitable object of his life. Though diverse other equally able and possibly abler males in history had acquiesced in a life of poverty as their lot in the planet, and had produced functions equally superb if not better than those produced by Bacon. Why it is to be wondered, practically every man who wrote about Bacon, lamented his difficulties in acquiring the highest locations in the administration, as if it has been a all-natural perfect of Bacon to have the locations of wealth, honour and power. The reason for this could be guessed as the appreciation of Bacon's philosophy of lucre and luxury which they entertained in the light of their own worldly desires.

            To know the thoughts of Bacon is to know his philosophy. And to know his philosophy is to know these who accepted and adopted his philosophy. And to know the life of Bacon is to know the life of his followers. And further to know the finish of Bacon is to know the finish of his followers. And for the reason that the entire world has followed him, thus it signifies the finish of all in shame, in misery, in the burning flames of the hell of atomic bombs and atomic radiations.

            Bacon's philosophy stands exclusive in all history as a philosophy of universal acceptance and prevalence, so that it has surpassed just about every other philosophy. Buddha's philosophy claims the allegiance of but a element of mankind. The identical may well be said of Hindu philosophy. The exact same might possibly be mentioned of Islam and of Christianity. But Bacon's philosophy of science-guided, materialistic progress owns the allegiance of the complete globe, east and west, white and black, yellow and green, unchallenged and unshared by any other. Indeed, it has seized this mankind like the intoxication of wine, so that every nation on earth is engaged in the race of progress, viewing with every single other and endeavouring to excel every other, surpass each other, and outwit every single other, knowing that they tended toward a blazing, braying, boiling and bursting atomic hell. The credit, then again, for so one of a kind so admirable and so fantastic a good results of Bacon's philosophy is shared with Bacon by his followers due to their unreserved acceptance and difficult, incessant endeavour not for a year, not for a couple of years, but for centuries at stretch. To them it has been like an post of faith. So complete has been the acceptance of Bacon's philosophy by the entire human race, and so complete and perfect has been their adoption of Baconian culture, that a total unmistakable identity of attitude, appearance, behaviour, and demeanour could be observed from one particular corner of the planet to the other, and the portrait of Bacon may perhaps be discerned visibly imprinted in the mind even of those who have never heard the name of Bacon, and have not even seen him in dream. This identity does not finish right here, but additional their end might also be expected as identical each in this world and the subsequent.
