Transformation and inception:The advancement of learning and modern political philosophy
The Advancement of Learning is critical in the transition from the classical Western philosophy to the modern one.On the one hand,Bacon questioned the absolute authority of reason and the contemplative life of philosophers.On the other hand,he focused on improving the status of methods in philosophical/scientific research,which provided the prelude to the modern transformation of philosophy.Promoting the unity of rhetoric and philosophy,Bacon invalidated the crucial distinction between philosophers and sophists.Not telling the noble lies,rhetoric can never serve the truth.The reunification of rhetoric and philosophy means the withdrawal of traditional philosophy and rhetoric,as well as the start of new philosophy and rhetoric.The transformation of philosophy solves the classical problem of the tension between philosophy and polis,thus eliminating the classical political philosophy and introducing the modern one.
