Abstract

The aim of this article is to consider the philosophical relevance of the Francis Bacon’s Essays, taking into account some aspects of its textual form: the unfinishing of the work, the change of its objectives and its classicatory constructions. Although at the first glance these aspects could suggest a theoretical weakness, indeed they express the elaboration of a new ideal of Philosophy.
