This document compares the English philosopher Francis Bacon and the British philosopher Bertrand Russell.
Francis Bacon was the first great writer of English philosophy and is considered the father of the English essay. He wrote 10 essays and helped establish the form of the chief prose writing in English - the essay. His sentences are also used as proverbs.
Bertrand Russell was a Nobel Prize winner in literature. He wrote over 80 books and 100 articles and was known for his analytical and logical style of writing in modern English philosophy. He appealed mainly to intellect and conveyed his meanings in a plain manner without complex language or symbolism.

7. The charm of bacon’s
writing lies in his wit
He seems to be alive
at every point with a
buoyant and intense
vitality.
Bacon has been most
influential in the
history of English
prose.
He provides a scuttle
connection among his
ideas. There is not any
abrupt shift of mood and
thoughts.
He preaches reason
and doesn’t allow
any sentimentality
to come across.
8. 01
HE HAS FIXED THE FORM OF OUR CHIEF KIND OF PROSE
WRITING – THE ESSAY
02
HENCE, HE IS RIGHTLY HAILED AS FATHER OF ENGLISH
EASSY.

9. PROVERBIAL SENTENCES:
“A MIXTURE OF LIE DOTH
EVER ADD PLEASURE”
SOME BOOKS ARE TO BE
TASTED; others swallowed
;and some to be chewed
and digested.
11. RUSSEL STYLE APPEALS MAINLY
TO OUR INTELLECTUALAND VERY
LITTLE TO OUR FEELING OR
EMOTIONS.
NO PROVIDE ANY SPECIAL
EFFECT IN HIS PROSE WRITING
RATHER THAN HE ONLY TIED TO
CONVEY HIS MEANING PLAIN.
FONDER OF ANALYTICAL
PHILOSOPHY.
THERE ARE NO “JEWELED
PHRASES”
IRONY IS A PRINCIPLE
INSTRUMENT OF HIS STYLE
13. “NO ONE CAN SIT AT THE BED RIDE OF A DYING
CHILD AND STILL BEHAVE IN GOD”
“HAPPINESS DEPENDS
PARTLY UPON EXTERNAL
CIRCUMSTANCES AND
PARTLY UPON ONESELF”

AND COMPLEX
LANGUAGE.
BACON THOUGHTS

AND ELABORATED
LANGUAGE LONG
SENTENCES

THEM.HE JUST CONVEY
HIS MEANING .
