About the Author
Francis Bacon was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1909. He emerged as one of the leading painters of the 20th century during the 40s and 50s. Bacon expanded the possibilities of figurative art with a bold, expressionistic style at a time when abstraction was the dominant mode. He was also one of the first artists to depict overtly homosexual themes. He stands as a towering figure in 20th-century art, having established a huge influence on younger generations of painters. He died in 1992.

The Advancement of Learning, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this profound book, the author delves into the history and nature of learning, exploring both its virtues and its shortcomings. The author argues that despite common misconceptions, knowledge is not a source of arrogance but rather a key to understanding the wonders of the world. Furthermore, the author believes that learning should not be confined to the ivory tower but should be used to benefit society. To this end, the author critiques the tendency of some scholars to focus on trivial pursuits rather than on matters of substance. However, the author also acknowledges that learning can be a force for good, illuminating the path to a more just and equitable world. Ultimately, this book is a passionate defense of the power of learning and a call to arms for scholars to use their knowledge to make a positive impact on the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
