In this Highlight from Hillsdale College’s FREE online course, “Introduction to Western Philosophy,” Dr. Nathan Schlueter explains how Francis Bacon offers a new way to look at philosophy that repudiates classical philosophy, introduces a radical skepticism to philosophy, and attempts to use scientific inquiry to command nature. Ultimately, Bacon's thought provides the foundation for modern science.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
A concise, but rich and profound exposition
Nice. Opening with "Bacon". I am watching this just a few minutes before supper. :)
Good coverage. As a physicist, I appreciate this video. As a professor, I am distraught by the damage done by "main stream" high education. I have given serious consideration to resigning.

Hard to argue, but schools need good professors!
@Emma Roma how can you blame them when they're expected to comply with insane policies by school board leaders. Even "some" professors have a conscience and follow it.
Thank you for this!!!
Well, that's how I think of it. Our senses are faulty, but we have to rely on them somewhat, because they're our only means of gaining new information about the real world. The key is checking sensory information with the use of tools that help us isolate what we see, and measure it, so we have a means of comparison of different POVs. We should combine that with reasoned analysis, and not just rely on our senses to tell us what's closer to reality.
Such an enjoyable and informative video!
It’s great to hear him describe Aristotle in the present tense, shows the magnitude of his beliefs after his death
Nice job. Very interesting.
Amazing.
Amazing... ❤

I’m wondering if we can have less or no music over the talking? As a hearing impaired person it’s extremely hard to follow what’s being said; even with captions there is audio overload and I can’t watch these important shows.

@@Charlesdward6491 I can but when there is music it’s exhausting to try and listen for audio cues mixed in. Also, the content creator has to enable captioning on their end for me to be able to turn them on.
Forget we not Roger.. Francis may be the 'father of modern science' yet perhaps Roger was indeed the 'first scientist' of whom Francis was certainly well aware.
First the video appears to me and now with your comment, I have gone down that Rabbit hole……Are their similar surnames a coincidence , or is there a link , albeit separated by , what , 5 centuries and how many generations? Fascinating on all accounts . Funny that until you mentioned his name, I knew nothing about Roger Bacon , except I think hearing it as an expression for which I don’t even know the meaning !
Ya learn something every day , eh? ( 1,000 points to you if you can guess where I’m from).
Which book do Sir Bacon did you recite from? Thank you.
People could capitalize on their ideas. No longer did we have to plunder for our wealth.
What interesting how some people do not understand who was Francis Bacon. He was a Christian. In his own words: “To conclude, therefore, let no man upon a weak conceit of sobriety or an ill-applied moderation think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the book of God's word, or the book of God's works, divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficience in both; only let men beware that they apply both to charity, and not to swelling; to use, and not to ostentation; and again, that they do not unwisely mingle or confound these learnings together.”
― Francis Bacon, The Oxford Francis Bacon IV: The Advancement of Learning
Now get into "the new Atlantis" the 2nd & 3rd charters for the Virginia company and the underlying commonality he shares with the u.s. founding fathers, the specifically timed builds in DC and the symbology involved in our nation and it's ties to Bacon then look up why and where he got his ideas from.... You're welcome whoever reads this and begins their path down the rabbit hole to true enlightenment. 🤯
I think, therefore I am. Everything else is subject to degrees of scrutiny.
Yes ----- very yes. Thank you. Fare thee well.
I doubt whether Sir Francis Bacon referenced railway tracks.
I like bacon too but geez! 😂. Jk. Excellent series Dr Schlueter!
Bacon under the influence of Shakespeare aka Edward de Vere!
Nah .... FB the man. Think deep and wonder. Fare thee well
Now. What is the Bible focused on?
Gods?
The words are 'focussed' on the paper, by printing processes. hee hee
Otherwise - it is a search for meaning - from a certain time and an attempt - to link with the eternal.
Who are humans and others - and all - how related - to the Real Being.
It is an attempt - among other attempts. Fare thee well.
Your salvation.
Amazing! The subject matter is so important and needs to be told and understood. What needs to be studied even more is this new phenomenon of every video on TH-cam having to have annoying background music. What is it in your brain that makes you think this is needed? Logic and reason would indicate a deficiency. Would you rather just be listening to music rather than focused on what is being said? Perhaps you put in music to distract someone from hearing what is being said? Maybe it is so common that you have been conditioned not to hear it. very sad. Should a professor in class have to play music while they are lecturing just to get students to listen?

Hlo sir
really? So what is Fauci then?
?
Bacon ushered in a movement away from realism and fueled a number of different ridiculous worldviews.
Such as?
Also created the steamboat & train 🚂
WHAT IS E=MC2 is dimensionally consistent. WHAT IS E=MC2 is consistent with TIME AND the fact that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE), AS c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. Gravity is an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded (or blocked) ON BALANCE. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. WHAT IS THE MOON is in balance with WHAT IS E=MC2 AND F=MA, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. GREAT ❤️. INDEED, consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE.

? Post Bacon - not FB really .... and you know this, don't you. Yeah. Fare thee well.
" Perhaps there are only three books which can be said to be really important.
One is written by Aristotle. The name of the book is Organum. It means the first principle of wisdom.
The second book is written by Bacon, who is the father of all modern science. His book's name is Novum Organum, new principle of wisdom. Aristotle is thought to be the father of Western logic, mathematics and related sciences, and Bacon is certainly the most important figure who has created the whole of science, the whole technology that has made the West strong, rich, affluent, healthy.
And the third important book is Ouspensky's Tertium Organum, the third principle of wisdom.
Lord Bacon, a great scientific mind, has written in his famous book, Novum Organum, that Pythagoras was a great fanatic. Now, this is utter nonsense. Bacon's book is really great; except for this one statement, the book is of immense value. It is said that there are three great books in the world. First is Aristotle's Organum - Organum means principle. The second is Bacon's Novum Organum - new principle. And third is Ouspensky's Tertium Organum - the third principle. And they ARE really great books, incomparable.
In the West this is very significant. People go on writing books and books about whether Shakespeare ever existed or not. As if it makes any difference. The plays that Shakespeare wrote are so beautiful - why not look into the plays and love and enjoy them? This seems to be going astray to ask whether Shakespeare existed or not. And the problem arises because it is thought that Shakespeare was an uneducated man so how could he write such beautiful things? Have you ever known very educated men to write beautiful things?
It is thought that it was not Shakespeare but Lord Bacon who was the real author. But I cannot trust this because I have read Lord Bacon's other books - they have nothing to compare with Shakespeare. Lord Bacon is just ordinary. He may have been a very learned man, he may have been a great scholar, but his books are ordinary, rubbish. Just because he is Lord Bacon and a very famous name, who is deceived? Have you ever heard the name of any book by Lord Bacon? Who is bothered?
How could Lord Bacon write these Shakespearian plays? Under his name he has not written a single masterpiece so how could he write one under a pseudo-name? And if he can write such beautiful plays as the Shakespearian plays are, under a pseudo-name, then what was he doing when he was writing under his own name? It doesn't seem right.
Thinking is like that - it goes on missing the whole point. If you really want to have any contact with reality, then thinking is not the bridge, it is the barrier.
In only three hundred years science has touched great heights. And the reason? The reason is simple. The reason is that Bacon introduced experiment into the world of science. In just three hundred years so much has happened - it did not happen in three thousand years or even in thirty thousand years. It is because of one man, Bacon. He changed the whole course of science and the whole course of human consciousness just by creating a new door of experimentation.
He said, "Speculation is not going to help. People have speculated down the ages and nothing has happened. They go on quarrelling about theories and those theories don't mean a thing." He introduced experiment.
You will be surprised to know where Bacon got the idea of experiment from. You will not believe it! He got it from Sufism. He was a great reader of Sufi books, he was immensely interested in Sufi books, and from the Sufi ideas he got the idea that if experiment is the door to the inner world, why could it not be the door to the outer? Science owes much to Sufism because of this. If some day the right sources are searched for, then the real fathers of science will be the Sufis, not the Greek philosophers, Aristotle, Plato and others, no. They were all speculators.
From where did the idea of experiment enter into the mind of Bacon? It entered from Sufism. He may have read this story or something else, but it entered from Sufism because Sufis are very insistent on experiment. And if religion is also going to grow, then experiment has to become its very foundation. Just as science has reached such a great height within such a small time limit - three hundred years - so religion can also have great possibilities if it becomes experimental.
Religion has much to learn from Sufism. Sufism is the most essential religion - that's why I say it is existential, experimental, experiential."
