When I searched, I found no work so meritorious as the discovery and development of arts and inventions that tend to civilise the life of man (...) But my birth, my rearing and education, (...) had all pointed towards politics
Sir Francis Bacon is best known to be the creator of empiricism. Besides his career as a scientist he although was a great statesman in his charge as Lord Chancellor. The author describes especially Bacons political career and his fall by quoting the rich amount of letters that endured the centuries. So the reader gets a profound impression of Bacons thoughts related to politics and philosophy.
Edwin Abbott Abbott was a schoolmaster and theologian. He was the author of the novel Flatland .
