Neste trabalho, trazemos uma análise da obra O Progresso do Conhecimento, publicada em 1605, pelo filósofo e político Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Nosso objetivo é explorar as ideias contidas nesse importante livro de Bacon a fim de relacioná-las com intenções mais gerais desse pensador, no plano de um projeto para a ciência, e com o momento histórico em que ele viveu, em especial a Reforma Protestante e suas consequências para o Estado inglês. Para atingir nosso objetivo, fizemos inicialmente um levantamento dos modos como a historiografia da ciência tem tratado sua vida e sua obra e como a historiografia geral tem abordado a questão da Reforma Protestante na Inglaterra. A análise do livro de Bacon, ao mesmo tempo em que segue linearmente as partes da obra, priorizou algumas dimensões teóricas: o projeto de Bacon de classificação das partes do conhecimento, a questão da separação entre o conhecimento humano e divino, o problema dos sujeitos da ciência e a dignidade do conhecimento e as vantagens do conhecimento. O resultado da análise é que as ideias de Bacon sobre a ciência são também ideias e propostas sobre o funcionamento do Estado e sobre os modos de ser dos sujeitos que os possibilitariam se relacionar com essa ciência e esse Estado. Assim, sugerimos que, para Bacon, Estado, sujeitos e ciência são elementos inter-relacionados e indissociáveis / In this text, I present an analysis of the work The Advancement of Learning, published in 1605, by the philosopher and politician Francis Bacon (1561-1626). My goal is to explore the ideas that this important book by Bacon contains, with the aim of relating them to the more general intentions of this thinker, in the frame of a project for science, and with the historical moment in which he lived, especially the Protestant Reformation and its consequences to the English State. In order to attain my goal, I made a survey of the approaches that the historiography of science has treated his life and works and how the general historiography has dealt with the Protestant Reformation in England. The analysis of Bacons book, follows linearly the parts of the work, but at the same time I have given strong attention to some theoretical dimensions: Bacons project of the classification of the parts of knowledge, the issue of the separation between human and divine knowledge, the problem of the subjects of science and the dignity of knowledge and the advantages of knowledge. The results of the analysis point to understanding Bacons ideas about science as ideas e proposals about the functioning of State e about the ways of being of the subjects that might enable them to be in a relationship with this science and State. In this way, I suggest that for Bacon, State, subjects and science are interrelated and inseparable elements

The philosophy of Francis Bacon has an important and often overlooked place in the development of American political thought. John Dewey cites Bacon as the forefather of his own highly influential philosophical school, American pragmatism. I argue that, though Dewey is in many ways correct to look to Bacon as his predecessor, he overlooks or collapses certain crucial tensions in Bacon’s philosophical project. This causes Dewey to misinterpret the political implications of the philosophic project to which he himself is an heir. By exploring the tensions that Bacon maintains, and Dewey collapses, between human knowledge and human power, science and democracy, and progress in the sciences and progress within states, I hope to shed light on the true implications of Bacon’s philosophical project for American political thought. / text

Thesis is solved in two freely interconnected parts. The main part is formed by set of paintings on the theme Psycho. In additional text I deal with portrait painting of three significant European painters of the 20th century. Part of text is self - reflection, in which I interpret my conception of portrait painting.

This thesis discusses Utopian thought and compares the Utopias of Plato, Sir Thomas More, Sir Francis Bacon, and Jonathan Swift in the areas of government, education, and social problems.

Este trabalho consiste no estudo da noção de gênio em Fernando Pessoa. Delimita por objetivo a identificação e análise de seu alcance e grau de penetração tanto nas formulações estéticas quanto poéticas do autor. O estudo se divide em três frentes, que definem a metodologia utilizada e o recorte do corpus investigado. A primeira aborda o ethos do homem de gênio nas cartas a João Gaspar Simões, Adolfo Casais Monteiro e Armando Côrtes-Rodrigues. A segunda frente do trabalho propõe a análise dos textos teóricos de Pessoa sob a perspectiva do gênio, pormenorizadamente os escritos sobre a questão Shakespeare-Bacon. A terceira frente se concentrará no estudo das leituras que Fernando Pessoa realizou do historiador e ensaísta escocês Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881), mais especificamente da obra On Heroes, Hero-Workship,and The Heroic in History. / This work consists of a study of the notion of genius in Fernando Pessoa. This research delimits as its goal the identification and analysis of Fernando Pessoas genius both in his aesthetic formulations and his poetics. The present work is divided into three sections, each defined by the methodology used and the selection of the corpus being investigated. The first part addresses the ethos of the man of genius in the letters to João Gaspar Simões, Adolfo Casais Monteiro, and Armando Côrtes-Rodrigues. The second part aims to analyze Pessoas theoretical texts from the perspective of the genius, carefully examining the writings that reflect on Shakespeare-Bacon. The third part will focus on Fernando Pessoas readings of the Scottish historian and essayist Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), specifically of Carlyles work On Heroes, Hero-Workship, and The Heroic in History.

Thesis advisor: Robert Faulkner / Over the past century we have witnessed and benefitted from a technological boom. Issues ranging from how science should progress to how it should be used continually gain prominence in public debates. This raises the question: what is the ideal relationship between the state and the scientific institutions? I attempt to explain how Francis Bacon, one of the founders of the modern era, answers this with his New Atlantis. Bacon’s realpolitik nature allows the New Atlantis to achieve what very few utopias can, actualization. By looking at New Atlantis’s fictionalized country, Bensalem, we can see Bacon’s ideal relationship between the scientific institution (Salomon’s House) and the state. First, I examine the state and Salomon’s House independently of each other, and then how they interact. Eventually, Bacon shows us that a strong and independent scientific institution is necessary to establish perpetuity to a well ordered state. / Thesis (MA) — Boston College, 2009. / Submitted to: Boston College.
