Francesco Bacone, nei suoi famosi “Saggi” pubblicati nel 1552, scrivendo sull’importanza degli “Studi”, ebbe modo di occuparsi del modo migliore per utilizzare i libri. Ricordo che la stampa era stata inventata solo poco tempo prima, ma già si avvertiva la necessità di mettere ordine in un’attività ed una impresa umana che poi sarebbe diventata sempre più importante ed essenziale.

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.

Alcuni libri devono essere gustati, altri masticati e digeriti, vale a dire che alcuni libri vanno letti solo in parte, altri senza curiosità, e altri per intero, con diligenza ed attenzione. Alcuni libri possono essere letti da altri e se ne possono fare degli estratti, ma ciò riguarderebbe solo argomenti di scarsa importanza o di libri secondari perché altrimenti i libri sintetizzati sono come l’acqua distillata, evanescente. La lettura completa la formazione di un uomo; il parlare lo fa abile, e la scrittura lo trasforma in un uomo preciso. E, pertanto, se un uomo scrive poco, deve avere una grande memoria, se parla poco ha bisogno di uno spirito arguto; se legge poco deve avere bisogno di molta astuzia in modo da far sembrare di sapere quello che non sa. Le storie fanno gli uomini saggi; i poeti arguti; la matematica sottile; la filosofia naturale profondi; la logica e la retorica abili nella discussione.

Francesco Bacone, noto anche come Francis Bacon, è stato un filosofo, scienziato e politico inglese vissuto tra il 1561 e il 1626. È considerato uno dei precursori del metodo scientifico e uno dei più influenti filosofi del suo tempo.

La sua opera più famosa è il "Novum Organum", pubblicata nel 1620, in cui Bacon esponeva il suo approccio alla scienza. Contrariamente al metodo aristotelico-deduttivo predominante all'epoca, Bacon sostenne che l'acquisizione di conoscenza scientifica dovesse essere basata sull'osservazione empirica e sull'esperimento. Egli credeva che per comprendere la natura, gli scienziati avrebbero dovuto raccogliere dati attraverso l'osservazione accurata dei fenomeni naturali e quindi trarre conclusioni generali basate su prove concrete.

Bacon sviluppò inoltre il concetto di "idola", che si riferisce agli ostacoli o agli errori che possono influenzare il processo di acquisizione della conoscenza. Egli identificò quattro tipi di idola: idola della tribù (errori comuni dovuti alla natura umana), idola della caverna (errori dovuti all'educazione e all'esperienza personale), idola del foro (errori dovuti all'uso improprio del linguaggio) e idola del teatro (errori dovuti alle teorie filosofiche preconcette). Bacon sosteneva che prendere coscienza di queste idola fosse essenziale per liberare la mente da pregiudizi e assumere un approccio più oggettivo nella ricerca della verità.

Oltre al suo contributo alla filosofia della scienza, Bacon fu anche coinvolto in politica e occupò diverse posizioni di rilievo nell'amministrazione inglese. Fu consigliere di regnanti come la regina Elisabetta I e il re Giacomo I, e svolse un ruolo importante nel sistema giudiziario e nelle politiche pubbliche dell'epoca.

I saggi di Francesco Bacone hanno posto le basi per il metodo scientifico moderno e hanno contribuito a promuovere l'importanza dell'osservazione empirica e dell'esperimento nel processo di acquisizione della conoscenza. La sua opera ha avuto un impatto duraturo sulla filosofia, sulla scienza e sul pensiero critico, e il suo nome è ancora oggi associato alla rivoluzione scientifica del XVII secolo. ( )

Os ensaios se tornaram famosos na época, mas ao menos que se tenha um interesse específico pelo renascimento e o que um intelectual inglês do século XVI teria a dizer sobre a vida em geral (o intelectual como aquele que fala de tudo um pouco), seu próprio livro acaba caindo na categoria mais baixa de sua categorização sobre livros, os conselhos e ponderações entram por um ouvido e saem pelo outro. O estilo não ajuda porque, em que pese a elegância, ela ainda assim serve a um conteúdo sem pregnância. ( )

These essays by Francis Bacon came across to me, more so, as preliminary sermons than essays. I have no issue with reading puritanical, fundamentalist doctrine but what I struggled with throughout these musings was the lack of any kind of wit or introspection that might allude to a paradox in the writer's ideas. I found the text more didactic than dry, but the range of topics were quite interesting, and so I approached each one with a fresh hope. If there was amusement to be found, for me, it was the two essays on buildings and gardens. With these, Francis begins objectively, only to follow on with what he himself would need in a garden or building, and then moves onto what you should do with his garden or building as if instructing a client, and all this seemed as if he was suddenly swept away by personal whim and fancy. His desire for a, wholly, clean garden also provided some amusement, but I feel there was no tongue to be found in his cheek while writing it. He's so adamant on this point that he makes clear gardens ought to be free of wildlife as much as possible, right down to the moss. His view of an aviary drives this point home when he states that it should contain as much foliage as possible to prevent the birds from leaving their droppings on the ground. To use a phrase from his essay on counsel, I found the whole body of work "grave & orderly". Some essays stood out such as innovations, friendship, revenge, anger, and fortune. The rest were written with such an austere temperament that I found myself mourning the loss of my literary appetite, and wanting watch a comedy on television just to lighten my mood ( )

To the Right Honorable My Very Good Lo. The Duke of Buckingham, His Grace, Lo. High Admirall of England - Excellent Lo. Salomon saies; A good Name is as a precious oyntment; and I assure my selfe, such wil your Graces Name bee, with Posteritie. For your Fortune, and Merit both, have beene Eminent. And you have planted Things, that are like to last. I doe now publish my Essayes; which of all my other workes, have beene most Currant: For that, as it seemes, they come home, to Mens Businesse, and Bosomes. I have enlarged them, both in Number, and Weight; So that they are indeed a New Worke. I thought it therefore agreeable, to my Affection, and Obligation to your Grace, to prefix your Name before them, both in English, and in Latine. For I doe conceive, that the Latine Volume of them, (being in the universall Language) may last, as long as Bookes last. My Instauration, I dedicated to the Kind: My Historie of Henry the Seventh, (which I have now also translated into Latine) and my Portions of Naturall History, to the Prince: And these I dedicate to your Grace; Being of the best Fruits, that by the good Encrease, which God gives to my Pen and Labours, I could yeeld. God leade your Grace by the Hand. Your Graces most Obliged and Faithfull Servant, Fr. St. Alban

Essays or Counsels Civil and Moral Essay I.--Of Truth 'What is truth? said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness, and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting. And though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them as was in those of the ancients.

From the Introduction - 'departed, carrying with him a profound contempt for the course of study pursued there, a fixed conviction that the system of academic education in England was radically vicious, a just scorn for the trifles on which the followers of Aristotle had wasted their powers, and no great reverence for Aristotle himself.' - Macaulay
