Of Studies by Francis Bacon Summary

Francis Bacon’s “Of Studies” serves reading of books as a means finding man’s purpose
in life. It emphasizes the importance of knowledge, open-mindedness, and theory empowering
skill. Without books, there would not be any needed improvement for man like no other means
of satisfying his curiosity. A man’s purpose in life is not limited to appreciating on what he has
for, in some perspective, man has insatiable desires and needs. While throwing light on the
advantages and usefulness of studies, he also condemns the act of studying from books solely
without learning from the nature. The essay Of Studies further asserts the benefits of studies by
considering this act as a medicine for the defects of the human mind and the source of enhancing
one’s wit. Hence, being alive means wanting to know more. The main point of all of it is that
there will always be new discoveries, always a reason to obliterate existing knowledge with a
new one.
