Thoughts after reading "Bacon's Essays" 1
When I read "Bacon's Essays" for the first time, I often get lost in the text. Although each article is very short, it is not as easy to understand as imagined. , I always read it many times and still can’t understand its meaning.
But I gradually became obsessed with these words. There is no absolute good or bad, nor absolute good and evil in Bacon's remarks. I also discovered another different Bacon: his persistence in philosophy, his enthusiasm for politics, his love for life, his pursuit of ideals, and his unwillingness to give up on difficulties. Each of his articles is the essence of life and the cleansing of the soul.
In "On Friendship", Bacon said: "If you tell a friend your happiness, you will get two happiness; if you pour your sorrow to a friend, you will be divided into half of the sorrow. "This shows that friends are an essential role around us and can add color to our lives.
What impressed me most was "On Beauty"
This is a work about "beauty". No one in the world is perfect, so don't complain about your appearance. Despite all the flaws, only inner beauty is eternal beauty. Virtue is more important than beauty. Only by combining beautiful appearance with beautiful virtue can beauty truly shine. There is a sentence in the article: "The beauty of body is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of body." Body is the overall image and shape of a person. Color refers to facial features, mainly the face, which is local. The beauty of behavior refers to the movement and demeanor of the hands and feet. It is acquired and is the reflection of inner beauty. It is the highest among the three. Nowadays, some people only focus on the beauty of the outside and ignore the inner beauty. Although they have beauty, they do not deserve to be praised because of their lack of graceful cultivation. Therefore, a person who is not luxuriously dressed but is dignified, serious and virtuous is awe-inspiring. Therefore, combine beautiful appearance with beautiful virtue. Only in this way can everyone radiate true brilliance.
A good book can make people understand a truth, a good book can build a shortcut for people, and a good book can even change the destiny of a person's life! As Bacon said: "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent." I have to affirm that from a certain point On the one hand, this is a good book for people to make progress! After reading Bacon's Essay 2
After reading "Bacon's Essay" two days ago, I discovered another Bacon that was completely different from my thoughts. I saw his persistence in philosophy, his enthusiasm for politics, his love for life, his pursuit of ideals, and his spirit and attitude of never giving up in the face of difficulties and constantly striving for self-improvement.
I suddenly understood: "Oh! So there is such a bacon!"
Among the dozens of essays, "On Beauty" left a deep impression on me. Apart from the fact that this article is all about male emperors who possess both beauty and virtue, this is a classic about "beauty". It focuses on how people should treat external beauty and inner beauty. "Goodness is like a gem. It is beautiful when set in nature; and the one who is good and attached to beauty is undoubtedly the most beautiful. However, this beauty does not have to be handsome, but only needs to be dignified and pleasant in manners." Yes, the beauty of the body is better than the beauty of color, and elegance The beauty of behavior is better than the beauty of body. Therefore, I think that a person's appearance is important, but if there is no connotation, the appearance is just a body, a walking corpse, how can it be regarded as beautiful? Therefore, people are beautiful because they are cute, not because they are beautiful.
After reading this book, I suddenly remembered that no one is perfect, and everyone has different ideals and beliefs. Of course, the things they pursue and the dreams they pursue are also different. You cannot put your own You cannot impose your preferences on others, and you cannot judge others based on your own preferences. Besides, people have two sides! You should look at the strengths of others and absorb the best to make up for your own shortcomings, laying a solid foundation for the long road ahead in life.

Bacon's Essay> was written by Francis Bacon, a famous British thinker, politician and empirical philosopher in the seventeenth century.

The content of this book involves politics, economy, religion, love, marriage, friendship, art, education, ethics, etc. Bacon wrote his own thoughts on various aspects of content, revealing Bacon's attitude towards life and handling of affairs between the lines. Way.
Among these dozens of essays, the one that impressed me the most is On Friendship>. He wrote in this essay: "If you tell a friend your happiness, you will get two happiness; and if you pour your sorrow to a friend, you will be divided into half of the sorrow." This shows that in our lives Friends are an indispensable role around us. They add color to our lives. When we encounter difficulties, friends are a reliable pillar that we can rely on; when we fall, friends are a crutch that helps us stand up and tells us: "Stand up from where you fell!" When we want to give up halfway, a friend is a memo, reminding us to persist to the end; when we succeed, a friend is a dictionary, teaching us what to do next, and always warning us "Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be arrogant when you lose." Don’t be discouraged.” Friends are people we can talk to, rely on, and seek help from. We should cherish all the friends around us. They are not only a role, they are also our mentors and helpful friends.
In these fifty-eight essays, we can see that each has its own profound significance, and Francis Bacon once said: "Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for color, and enough for talent." A scholar who is eager to learn and think deeply is often a person with great talents and literary talent. Bacon is just such a person. His essays show his literary talent, his personality, and his arguments. We can read this book several times and we will definitely understand the truth. Thoughts after reading Bacon's essays 4
As an outstanding British philosopher and writer, Francis Bacon wanted to change the current social situation. As a young man, he began to use writing to save human thoughts, and he never gave up throughout his life. "Bacon's Essays" incorporates fifty-eight articles of his life experience, spreading to the country and entering the world.
"Bacon's Essays" carries out in-depth dialectical discussions on politics, life and other aspects. Facing the social problems around him, he sharply and frankly puts forward his own opinions, and his pursuit of noble character is shown between the lines. And the rush to change dark dreams. An image of patriotism, equality, justice, and love for life gradually grows before our eyes, and our hearts become stronger.
Some of the articles touched me greatly. In "On the Emperor", facing this noble and inviolable person, he has no fear and no rhetoric. He discussed the principles and practices of the emperor in an objective and fair manner. He advocated restraining the king's power and limiting the emperor's desires, and at the same time analyzed and elaborated on the emperor's subordinates. His eloquent talk always makes people succumb to his wisdom.
In "On Beauty", Bacon's view is even more unique. Whether at that time or in modern times, people's pursuit of beauty has never faded. Many people are dissatisfied with their appearance and even lose confidence in it. But Bacon said: "Natural appearance is better than pink and rouge, and elegant behavior is better than natural appearance." Bacon liked all natural things and believed that doing good deeds makes people more beautiful. This is a great inspiration for us in adolescence.
Misfortune is the thing that humans fear and hate the most, but Bacon mentioned the benefits of misfortune in "On Misfortune". "There are also various comforts and hopes in misfortune." Bacon, who has experienced ups and downs in his life, has been tempered by setbacks and become more mature and brave. Misfortune will bring good things to a person. People who have struggled with misfortune have more prominent virtues. , only the polished life will reveal the brightest light of life.
Bacon appears small in the turbulent trend of the times, but his thoughts have become chapters that will never fade. His wise brain and compassionate heart always inspire us and inspire the people of the world to fight for justice. Bacon's interpretation of goodness has influenced the conscience of hundreds of millions of people. Such is the power of his words. Thoughts after reading Bacon's essays 5
Wise people have different opinions from ordinary people on many things. Bacon is such a person. Recently, I read his book "Essays on Bacon" and gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of all aspects of Bacon's life.
Bacon made great contributions to philosophy and literature throughout his life. This "Essays of Bacon" has extremely high literary value. First of all, it is unique in concept and perspective. Regarding death, Bacon told people not to be afraid. All talented and wise people who are firm, persistent and dedicated to good can avoid the pain of death. In the face of increasingly serious religious conflicts, he hopes that people can put peace first and say "no" to bloody wars. I believe that if the people of Palestine and Israel read this "Essays of Bacon", they will not As the Palestinian-Israeli conflict worsens, he always regards the difficulties and setbacks in life as opportunities given by God to sharpen one's self. He believes that unremitting efforts can always turn bad luck into good luck for many people. Superstition and blind obedience, he boldly advocates atheism, hoping that they can use reason and affection to defeat the autocratic rule in their hearts, etc. Secondly, in this book, the author not only puts forward unique insights, but also quotes classic sentences from famous literary works to demonstrate. In addition, the reliability of the article's ideas is greatly improved. In addition, "Bacon's Essays" has beautiful language and clear layers, which makes people have an endless aftertaste after reading it.

"Bacon's Essays" was written by Francis Bacon, a famous British thinker, politician and empirical philosopher in the seventeenth century. This book is divided into essays such as "On Pursuing Knowledge", "On Beauty", "On Goodness", "On Truth", "On Health", "On Family", "On Friendship", etc. The reason why I like this book is that although it is reasonable, it is very close to our lives.
Take "On the Pursuit of Knowledge" as an example, Bacon said: "Human nature is like wild flowers and grass, and seeking knowledge and learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that learning knowledge is very important and plays a vital role in people's life. Played a very big role. Take "On Beauty" as an example. Although he doesn't write much, his understanding and explanation of beauty are indeed very profound. There is a sentence in the article: "The beauty of form is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of form." This sentence has a profound impact on me. In a modern society where all kinds of gods and goddesses are rampant, we have lost our aesthetic direction and think that as long as we are beautiful and handsome, we are beautiful.
However, we ignore it. Inner things are the highest level of beauty. Color, shape, and behavior are three different realms of beauty. Clothes and appearance alone are just superficial. If a noble king squeezes the people, he will not gain the favor of the people. Praise. Lowly peasants can get praise from others if they do good deeds every day. Therefore, beauty is not about a glamorous appearance, nor does it require a combination of beautiful appearance and beautiful virtues. As long as the behavior is dignified and decent, believe me, yours. Beauty will emanate and infect others. He understands death: "The desire for revenge overwhelms death, love despises death, honor is higher than death, sorrow longs for death, and fear looks forward to death." ? Death opens the door to honor and extinguishes jealousy. "I saw the passionate Bacon's feelings about the world. Death is a frightening word, and Bacon is explaining the reasons for people's inner fear of this emotion. Different mentality faces the same thing, which is completely different.
After reading this book, I suddenly looked back and savored Bacon’s spirit and will, and found that he was a multi-faceted person, with these seemingly contradictory qualities concentrated in him. But there is no sense of violation, but it makes people feel that this is the real Bacon, a great philosopher. Thoughts after reading Bacon's Essays 7
I read "Bacon's Essays" today and I also liked it. I can’t understand it. I’m so ashamed. But I tried to read a few of them. Among the dozens of essays, the one that impressed me the most was “On Beauty”, which is one of the classics about “beauty”. The language is concise, the connotation is profound, and it is full of philosophy. "Beauty" itself is a very broad issue. This article focuses on how people should treat external beauty and inner beauty. No one in the world is perfect, so don't complain about your appearance. There is a saying in the article that only inner beauty is eternal beauty.
Virtue is more important than beauty. Only by combining beautiful appearance with beautiful virtue can beauty truly shine. The beauty of beauty is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of body. "Shape is the overall image and body shape of a person. Color refers to the facial features, mainly the face, which is local. The beauty of behavior refers to the movements and demeanor of the hands and feet, which is acquired and is a reflection of inner beauty. It is the highest among the three. .
"On Beauty". This is a masterpiece about "beauty", which is full of philosophy. "Beauty" itself is a very broad issue. This article focuses on what a person should be. Dealing with the issue of outer beauty and inner beauty.
Beauty is an eternal topic, but what is the definition of beauty? Is inner beauty more important, or outer beauty?
Me. I strongly agree with Mr. Bacon's point of view---combine beautiful appearance with beautiful virtue. Only in this way can beauty radiate true brilliance.
I believe that external beauty must be based on inner beauty. Only on the basis of it can it play its role. A beautiful body alone can never exude nobility.
You often see people with extraordinary appearance and noble clothes on the street, but their mouths are full of elegance. They always say words that are inconsistent with their external status. Although some young people are beautiful, they are not worthy of praise because of their lack of graceful cultivation.
A person with beautiful appearance can instantly charm the people around him, but a person who is truly appreciated, respected and attractive is one who has ability, connotation and temperament!
So instead of Instead of spending time dressing up your appearance, you should spend your time absorbing knowledge, enriching your experience and improving your inner qualities.
A person who is not luxuriously dressed but is dignified, serious and virtuous is awe-inspiring. Thoughts after reading Bacon's Essays 8
"Bacon's Essays" is the essence of Bacon's essays written over many years. Many of Bacon's articles are inspiring and lofty. When he was instructing people how to read, he pointed out insightfully: "Some books can be read only in chapters, some books can be briefly browsed, and a small number of books must be read in detail and understood carefully." He is instructing people on what to read. When the book is most beneficial, it warns people: "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people clear, mathematics makes people precise, physics makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, logic and rhetoric make people eloquent..."

Even all kinds of physical pain can be relieved by reading appropriate books. The book has lofty intentions and describes various experiences of Mr. Bacon's life. It is a must-read.

"Bacon's Essays" contains 58 short essays spanning decades. The language is real and simple, but it perfectly summarizes the word "life". All journeys in life will be... Get the answer in the book, every word shines with the light of wisdom and reason, shining in people's hearts.
The article is short, but it refines the long article and puts forward the essence. From a political perspective, it dissects and analyzes everything that can be encountered in life. And what he talks about is not only the positive, but also the negative, things hidden deep in our hearts that need to be mastered and controlled by ourselves. However, we should face them squarely instead of suppressing them in our hearts. Bacon was a great scholar. He used such short and concise articles to explain everything perfectly. Almost every sentence in all the articles is golden and can independently become a new aphorism. All of them reflect Bacon's style.
Among these articles, one of my favorites is "Talk about Friendship". At the beginning of the article, people without friendship are regarded as lonely beasts and people who are incompatible with the world. We regard friends as people with whom we can exchange our thoughts. This is a true friend. When you gain friendship, you are truly far away from loneliness. Bacon believed that one of the main effects of friendship is to vent the depression caused by various passions. Very blunt statement, nothing fancy, but for us passionate young people, we will all share the joys and sorrows with true friends. We may not necessarily have the same status or the same life; but we may have the same goals and the same interests that bring us together. But why do we care about this friendship so much? Zhou Guoping once wrote, "Everyone is an orphan." "We come to this world by chance, and we must leave. It is precisely because of this fundamental loneliness that the value of love is given." Similarly, for friendship, friendship , it is the collision of two accidents, which is even more worthy of our cherishment. So when you find a close friend, you need to be careful. We should use our friends as mirrors to reflect ourselves. If you can find any "disheveled" areas in yourself, you should sort them out.
To have no friends is to be a cannibal. So, take advantage of the opportunity and find yourself! Thoughts after reading Bacon's Essays 10

There is a book in which he has thorough reasoning and timeless warnings. The article criticizes scholasticism and idealism in medieval Europe, arguing that scholasticism is isolated from life experiments and bound by dogma and authority.

He advocated the adoption of Practice reveals the mysteries of nature by engaging in scientific experiments.
He strives to examine and investigate various phenomena and behaviors with an "objective" attitude without preconceptions, and rarely simplistically criticizes right and wrong based on traditional religious and moral concepts.
There are many essays in "Bacon's Essays", some of which are deeply memorable to me:

"Bacon's Essays" is a good book and well worth reading. Thoughts after reading Bacon's Essays 13
I first came into contact with "Bacon's Essays", which was an excerpt from "Talking about Reading" in a Chinese language book. To be honest, my impression of him is not very good. He always stands in the position of a noble and a man, and writes in terms of religious beliefs, the God of Creation, and the so-called truth. His words are confusing and confusing. I read the whole book with some irritability. But the results surprised me. From the many chapters of "Bacon's Essays", I saw a Bacon who loved philosophy; a Bacon who was keen on politics; a Bacon who was full of interest in life; a Bacon who was constantly striving for self-improvement...
This book* **Collectes 59 essays by Bacon. The titles of each article have clear meanings, making it clear at a glance. Each essay has a free structure, and readers can read it in full or skip it. With the beautiful words and incomparably profound philosophy of this book, I thoroughly understood it and benefited a lot from it.
Among the many essays, the one I admire most is "On Adversity". "The luck brought by good times is certainly valuable, but the quality created by adversity is even more impressive. The virtue of good times is self-control and self-discipline, and the virtue of adversity is perseverance." These two sentences are the main theme of the whole article and the essence of the whole film. Encountering adversity is a misfortune in life. It can make people unwilling to make progress, be passive and slow down, and bring us frustration and pain. At the same time, it is also a great blessing in life. It tests people's will and tempers their minds, so that they can A person rises from obscurity to greatness. It can be said that it is the tempering of adversity that has created batches of great men in history.
For example, Qu Yuan experienced the adversity of being exiled before he could write "Li Sao"; Sima Qian suffered palace punishment, which is the swan song of historians; Gou Jian endured hardships while lying on the firewood, creating the miracle of "three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu"; Su Shi was demoted after being demoted The depression left behind eternal words... They all suffered adversity and overcame it, and finally became famous in history and were admired by future generations. Although adversity can cause pain and despair. But without adversity, how can there be a miracle? Only by experiencing hellish suffering can we feel heavenly happiness; only by bleeding fingers can we play the swan song of the world; as a butterfly, we are not afraid of the rain on our wings. How can we succeed without encountering adversity?
A good book is like a window. When the window is opened, light will shine in and illuminate the beautiful soul. As Bacon said: "Reading history makes you wise, reading poetry makes you smart, mathematics makes you thoughtful, science makes you profound, ethics makes you solemn, and the study of logic makes you eloquent.
"I have to say, this is indeed a good book that makes people motivated!
