Whatever their subject, whether it is something as personal as \"Friendship\" or as abstract as \"Truth,\" the essays combine a mixture of rhetoric and philosophy; and are perhaps the most complete and rounded examples of Bacon's literary style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than merely summarizing popular philosophy or producing glib expositions of correct conduct, Bacon attempted to change the shape of the other men's minds. He believed rhetoric, as the force eloquence and persuasion, could incline the mind towards the pure light of reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140432169\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.17 (w) x 7.77 (h) x 0.71 (d)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Francis Bacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863036657971,"sku":"9780140432169","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27209463482237.jpg?v=1754188444","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-essays-1","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
