Publisher's Synopsis
""Rosicrucian Parallels to Francis Bacon's Writings"" is a book written by W.F.C. Wigston that explores the connections between the Rosicrucian philosophy and the writings of Francis Bacon. The book delves into the history and beliefs of the Rosicrucians, a secret society that emerged in Europe in the 17th century, and compares their teachings with the works of Bacon, a prominent philosopher and statesman of the same era. Wigston argues that there are striking similarities between the two, particularly in their emphasis on the pursuit of knowledge and the importance of the individual in society. The book also examines the influence of Rosicrucianism on other prominent figures of the time, such as John Dee and Robert Fludd. Overall, ""Rosicrucian Parallels to Francis Bacon's Writings"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of philosophy, mysticism, and politics in early modern Europe.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Francis Bacon: Poet, Prophet, Philosopher, by W.
