Reflection of Aeshetic In The Idea of Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon rejected ancient wisdom as a thinker who prioritized science. He advocated a quantitative development by advocating empiricism and induction. Because this is an important issue for the objective world and reality for him. In this direction, Bacon advocated obtaining information based on making observations and examining facts. Therefore, according to him, the first condition of reaching reality is to use the skill of reception and reason. According to Bacon, obtaining information in a systematic way is to be universal and inclusive. In this case, the development of human abilities and skills is possible not only by groping, but also by providing a mental development. For Bacon, who argues that the artist should progress in this direction, the artist must be scientific. For the artist, the center of the senses and perceptions of the mind is not the universe, but the man himself. Because through art, the artist makes his ideas visible by expanding the meanings of objects. According to Bacon, man, who comprehends the reality in nature in an uncertain and irregular way, gains determination and order through art. Therefore, by bringing reality into an ideal form, a work of art is created through human creativity, imagination, talents and skills.
