Francis Bacon, Of Simulation and Dissimulation

The second essay by Francis Bacon we will look at is his essay 'Of Simulation and Dissimulation.' It is a companion essay to his first essay 'Of Truth'. While on the surface it might appear to be advocating lying, and lie in antithesis to his essay 'of truth', it is rather a practical consideration of the problems posed by truth-telling and a lack of candour. Bacon is not contradicting his conviction about the importance of the truth; but as an experienced politician, he is speaking about the importance of falling short of telling 'the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.' As usual, he speaks of the topic from a variety of angles and considerations, and speaks of degrees of dissembling which do issue forth in lying, which he regards as personally and socially destructive. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member:    / drscottmasson   To support my channel and assist me in providing better content, please go here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=...
