OF TRUTH
BACON\’S SELECTED ESSAYS main text:part-01 WHAT is Truth? said jesting Pilate; and would not say for an answer. Certainly there be that delight in giddiness and count it a bondage to fix a belief; affecting free-will in thinking, as well as in acting. And, though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, yet there remain certain discoursing wits which are of the same veins, though there be not so much blood in them as was in those of the ancients. But it is not only the difficulty and labour which men take in finding out of truth; nor again that, when it is found, it imposeth upon men\’s thoughts that doth bring lies in favour; but a natural though corrupt love of the lie itself.One of the later schools of the Grecians examineth the matter, and is at a stand to think what should be in it, that men should love lies, where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; but Traslation in bangla :OF TRUTH WHAT is Truth? â āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻā§? said jesting Pilate; â āϰāϏāĻŋāĻāϤāĻžāϰ āĻāĻā§āĻāĻŋāϤ⧠āĻĒāĻŋāϞāĻžāϤ āĻŦāϞā§āĻāĻŋāϞā§āύ; and would not stay for an answer. â āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻāϤā§āϤāϰā§āϰ āĻāύā§āϝ āĻ āĻĒā§āĻā§āώāĻž āĻāϰā§āύāύāĻŋāĨ¤ Certainly there be that delight in giddiness â āύāĻŋāĻļā§āĻāϝāĻŧāĻ āĻāĻŽāύ āĻāĻŋāĻā§ āϞā§āĻ āĻāĻā§ āϝāĻžāϰāĻž āĻ āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋāϰāϤāĻž āĻ āĻāĻā§āĻāϞāϤāĻžāϝāĻŧ āĻāύāύā§āĻĻ āĻĒāĻžāϝāĻŧ and count it a bondage to fix a belief; â āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻā§āύ⧠āĻŦāĻŋāĻļā§āĻŦāĻžāϏ⧠āϏā§āĻĨāĻŋāϰ āĻšāĻāϝāĻŧāĻžāĻā§ āĻāĻ āϧāϰāύā§āϰ āĻĻāĻžāϏāϤā§āĻŦ āĻŽāύ⧠āĻāϰā§; affecting free-will in thinking, â āĻāĻŋāύā§āϤāĻžāϰ āĻā§āώā§āϤā§āϰā§āĻ āϏā§āĻŦāĻžāϧā§āύ āĻāĻā§āĻāĻžāϰ āĻāĻžāύ āĻāϰā§, as well as in acting. â āϝā§āĻŽāύ āϤāĻžāϰāĻž āĻāĻžāĻā§āϰ āĻā§āώā§āϤā§āϰā§āĻ āĻāϰā§āĨ¤ And, though the sects of philosophers of that kind be gone, â āĻāĻŦāĻ āϝāĻĻāĻŋāĻ āϏā§āĻ āϧāϰāύā§āϰ āĻĻāĻžāϰā§āĻļāύāĻŋāĻāĻĻā§āϰ āϏāĻŽā§āĻĒā§āϰāĻĻāĻžāϝāĻŧ āĻāĻāύ āĻŦāĻŋāϞā§āĻĒā§āϤ āĻšāϝāĻŧā§ āĻā§āĻā§, yet there remain certain discoursing wits â āϤāĻŦā§āĻ āĻāĻŋāĻā§ āϤāϰā§āĻāĻĒā§āϰāĻŋāϝāĻŧ āĻŦā§āĻĻā§āϧāĻŋāĻā§āĻŦā§ āĻāĻāύāĻ āϰāϝāĻŧā§ āĻā§āĻā§ which are of the same veins, â āϝāĻžāĻĻā§āϰ āϏā§āĻŦāĻāĻžāĻŦ āĻāĻāĻ āϰāĻāĻŽ, though there be not so much blood in them â āϝāĻĻāĻŋāĻ āϤāĻžāĻĻā§āϰ āĻŽāϧā§āϝ⧠āϤāϤāĻāĻž āĻļāĻā§āϤāĻŋ āĻŦāĻž āĻĒā§āϰāĻžāĻŖāĻļāĻā§āϤāĻŋ āύā§āĻ as was in those of the ancients. â āϝāϤāĻāĻž āĻĒā§āϰāĻžāĻā§āύāĻĻā§āϰ āĻŽāϧā§āϝ⧠āĻāĻŋāϞāĨ¤ But it is not only the difficulty and labour â āĻāĻŋāύā§āϤ⧠āĻā§āĻŦāϞ āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻā§āĻāĻā§ āĻĒāĻžāĻāϝāĻŧāĻžāϰ āĻāĻ āĻŋāύāϤāĻž āĻ āĻĒāϰāĻŋāĻļā§āϰāĻŽāĻ āύāϝāĻŧ which men take in finding out of truth; â āϝāĻž āĻŽāĻžāύā§āώāĻā§ āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻāĻŦāĻŋāώā§āĻāĻžāϰ⧠āĻāϰāϤ⧠āĻšāϝāĻŧ; nor again that, when it is found, â āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻāĻāĻžāĻ āύāϝāĻŧ āϝā§, āϝāĻāύ āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻĒāĻžāĻāϝāĻŧāĻž āϝāĻžāϝāĻŧ, it imposeth upon men\’s thoughts â āϤāĻāύ āϤāĻž āĻŽāĻžāύā§āώā§āϰ āĻāĻŋāύā§āϤāĻžāϰ āĻāĻĒāϰ āύāĻŋāϝāĻŧāύā§āϤā§āϰāĻŖ āĻāϰā§āĻĒ āĻāϰ⧠that doth bring lies in favour; â āϝāĻžāϰ āĻāĻžāϰāĻŖā§ āĻŽāĻžāύā§āώ āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻžāϰ āĻĒāĻā§āώ āύā§āϝāĻŧ; but a natural though corrupt love of the lie itself. â āĻŦāϰāĻ āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻžāϰ āĻĒā§āϰāϤāĻŋ āĻŽāĻžāύā§āώā§āϰ āĻāĻ āϏā§āĻŦāĻžāĻāĻžāĻŦāĻŋāĻ, āϝāĻĻāĻŋāĻ āĻŦāĻŋāĻā§āϤ, āĻāĻžāϞā§āĻŦāĻžāϏāĻž āϰāϝāĻŧā§āĻā§āĨ¤ One of the later schools of the Grecians examineth the matter, â āĻā§āϰāĻŋāĻāĻĻā§āϰ āĻĒāϰāĻŦāϰā§āϤ⧠āϝā§āĻā§āϰ āĻāĻ āĻĻāĻžāϰā§āĻļāύāĻŋāĻ āĻŽāϤāĻŦāĻžāĻĻ āĻāĻ āĻŦāĻŋāώāϝāĻŧāĻāĻŋ āĻĒāϰā§āĻā§āώāĻž āĻāϰā§, and is at a stand to think â āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻŦāĻŋāϏā§āĻŽāĻŋāϤ āĻšāϝāĻŧā§ āĻāĻžāĻŦāϤ⧠āĻĨāĻžāĻā§ what should be in it, â āĻāϤ⧠āĻāĻŽāύ āĻā§ āĻāĻā§, that men should love lies, â āϝ⧠āĻŽāĻžāύā§āώ āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻžāĻā§ āĻāĻžāϞā§āĻŦāĻžāϏā§, where neither they make for pleasure, as with poets, â āϝā§āĻāĻžāύ⧠āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻž āĻā§āύ⧠āĻāύāύā§āĻĻ āĻĻā§āϝāĻŧ āύāĻž, āϝā§āĻŽāύ āĻāĻŦāĻŋāĻĻā§āϰ āĻā§āώā§āϤā§āϰ⧠āĻĻā§āϝāĻŧ, nor for advantage, as with the merchant; â āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻā§āύ⧠āϞāĻžāĻāĻ āĻāύ⧠āĻĻā§āϝāĻŧ āύāĻž, āϝā§āĻŽāύ āĻŦā§āϝāĻŦāϏāĻžāϝāĻŧā§āĻĻā§āϰ āĻā§āώā§āϤā§āϰ⧠āĻāύ⧠āĻĻā§āϝāĻŧ; but … â āϤāĻŦā§āĻ …āĨ¤ Short Summary:OF TRUTH In the opening of \”Of Truth,\” Francis Bacon explains that many people do not like truth because they enjoy uncertainty and freedom in thinking. He argues that people are naturally attracted to lies, not only because truth is difficult to discover, but also because there is a corrupt love of falsehood in human nature. main text:part-02 for the lie\’s sake. But I cannot tell this same with truth is a naked and open day-light, that doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that-sheweth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle, that sheweth best in varied lights. A mixture of lie doth ever add pleasure. Doth any man doubt, that if there were taken out of men\’s minds vain opinions, flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like, but it would leave the minds of a number of men poor shrunken things, full of melancholy and indisposition, and unpleasing to themselves? One of the Fathers, in great severity, called poesy vinum dacmonum the wine of devils), because it filleth the imagination; and yet it is but with the shadow of a lie. But it is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in and settleth in it, that doth the hurt, such as we spake of before. But howsoever these things are thus in men\’s depraved judgements and affections, yet truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it and the Traslation in bangla :OF TRUTH for the lie\’s sake. â āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻžāϰ āύāĻŋāĻā§āϰ āϏā§āĻŦāĻžāϰā§āĻĨā§āĻāĨ¤ But I cannot tell: â āĻāĻŋāύā§āϤ⧠āĻāĻŽāĻŋ āĻŦā§āĻāϤ⧠āĻĒāĻžāϰāĻŋ āύāĻž: this same truth is a naked and open day-light, â āĻāĻ āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻšāϞ⧠āĻāύā§āĻŽā§āĻā§āϤ āĻ āύāĻā§āύ āĻĻāĻŋāĻŦāĻžāϞā§āĻā§āϰ āĻŽāϤā§, that doth not shew the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world, â āϝāĻž āĻŦāĻŋāĻļā§āĻŦā§āϰ āĻŽā§āĻā§āĻļ, āĻāĻžāύ-āĻāĻŖāĻŋāϤāĻž āĻāĻŦāĻ āĻāĻžāĻāĻāĻāĻŽāĻāĻā§ āĻĻā§āĻāĻžāϝāĻŧ āύāĻž, half so stately and daintily as candle-lights. â āϝāϤāĻāĻž āϏā§āύā§āĻĻāϰ āĻ āĻāĻāϰā§āώāĻŖā§āϝāĻŧāĻāĻžāĻŦā§ āĻŽā§āĻŽāĻŦāĻžāϤāĻŋāϰ āĻāϞ⧠āĻĻā§āĻāĻžāϝāĻŧāĨ¤ Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, â āϏāϤā§āϝ āĻšāϝāĻŧāϤ⧠āĻŽā§āĻā§āϤāĻžāϰ āĻŽā§āϞā§āϝā§āϰ āϏāĻŽāĻžāύ āĻšāϤ⧠āĻĒāĻžāϰā§, that sheweth best by day; â āϝāĻž āĻĻāĻŋāύā§āϰ āĻāϞā§āϤ⧠āϏāĻŦāĻā§āϝāĻŧā§ āĻāĻžāϞ⧠āĻĻā§āĻāĻžāϝāĻŧ; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle, â āĻāĻŋāύā§āϤ⧠āϤāĻž āĻšā§āϰāĻž āĻŦāĻž āϰāĻā§āϤāĻŽāĻŖāĻŋāϰ āĻŽā§āϞā§āϝ⧠āĻĒā§āĻāĻāĻžāϤ⧠āĻĒāĻžāϰ⧠āύāĻž, that sheweth best in varied lights. â āϝāĻž āĻŦāĻŋāĻāĻŋāύā§āύ āĻāϞā§āϤ⧠āϏāĻŦāĻā§āϝāĻŧā§ āϏā§āύā§āĻĻāϰ āĻĻā§āĻāĻžāϝāĻŧāĨ¤ A mixture of lie doth ever add pleasure. â āĻŽāĻŋāĻĨā§āϝāĻžāϰ āĻŽāĻŋāĻļā§āϰāĻŖ āϏāĻŦāϏāĻŽāϝāĻŧāĻ āĻāύāύā§āĻĻ āĻŦāĻžāĻĄāĻŧāĻžāϝāĻŧāĨ¤ Doth any man doubt, â āĻā§āĻ āĻāĻŋ āϏāύā§āĻĻā§āĻš āĻāϰā§,
