Hurry, hurry!! What is Bacon s basic point of view on the quest for knowledge

In fact, it is to introduce the method of reading books to tell people what books to read, what books not to read, which books to read in detail, which ones to read in general, and what benefits the various types of books have for the human spirit.

Does knowledge shape human character?

Curiosity can be used as a pastime, as a decoration, or as an increase in talent.

When you're lonely and lonely, reading can be a pastime. When you're talking, knowledge is the decoration. When you conduct yourself in the world, the right use of knowledge means strength.

Those who understand the cause and effect of things are happy. Although people with practical experience can handle individual affairs, if they want to see the whole and manage the overall situation, they can only do it with knowledge.

If you are too slow to learn, you will be lazy, if you seek knowledge for the sake of decoration, you will be self-defeating, and if you do everything according to the rules of the book, you will become a paranoid nerd.

Curiosity can improve human and nature, and experimentation can improve knowledge itself. Human nature is like wild flowers and plants, and learning is like pruning and transplanting. Internship attempts can test the authenticity of the corrected knowledge itself.

The cunning despise learning, the foolish envy learning, but the wise are good at using it. Knowledge itself does not tell people how to use it, but the way to use it is outside the books. It's a craft.

You can't learn without experimentation. Don't read books for the sake of criticism, but don't trust books lightly. The purpose of seeking knowledge is not to boast and show off, but to seek truth and enlighten wisdom.

Some knowledge only needs to be tasted, and some knowledge only needs to be roughly understood. There is only a small amount of expertise that needs to be delved into and carefully explored. Therefore, some books only need to be read in part of them, some books only need to know the outline, and for a few good books, it is necessary to read them carefully, read them carefully, and read them repeatedly.

Some books can be read by someone and then read a summary of his notes. But this is limited to books of poor quality. Otherwise, a good book will be like distilled water, and it will become bland and tasteless!

Reading enriches one's mind, discussion enthages one's mind, and note-taking makes one's knowledge accurate.

Therefore, if a person reverts to taking notes, his memory must be strong and reliable. If a person is only willing to explore alone, his mind must be extraordinarily sharp. If someone does not read and wants to pretend to be knowledgeable, he must be cunning to hide his ignorance.

Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people wise, calculus makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, ethics makes people cultivated, and logical rhetoric makes people good at argumentation. In short, "knowledge shapes human character".

Not only that, but all kinds of mental defects can be improved through knowledge--- just as physical defects can be improved through exercise. For example, playing ball is good for the waist and kidneys, archery can expand the chest and lungs, walking is good for digestion, riding makes people react quickly, and so on. In the same way, a person who is not concentrating can study mathematics because mathematics can make mistakes if he is not careful.

For those who lack analytical judgment, he can study scholasticism, because this is the most important science of cumbersome dialectics. If you are not good at reasoning, you can study law, and so on. These kinds of mental defects can be cured by seeking knowledge.

1 For a pair of rough books, you only need to taste, know, and read other people's notes and summaries.

2. Read good books carefully, read them carefully, read them repeatedly, take notes, and discuss.
