Sir Francis Bacon hatt en enorm innvirkning på vitenskap og filosofi i den vitenskapelige revolusjonen i XVII-tallets England. Han var den første til å argumentere for en skeptisk og metodisk tilnærming i vitenskap, basert på nøye observasjon av hendelser i naturen, og bygger på induksjon. Hans arbeid, godt forankret i empiri for å hindre projeksjon av ens foretrukne hypotese, gjorde ham far til vitenskapelig metode. Dette var en banebrytende vendingen på den tiden, og er fortsatt grunnlaget for den vitenskapelige rammeverket i dag. Vi har valgt for deg 100 av hans mest innflytelsesrike sitater, for deg å oppdage den interne driften av en ærlig vitenskapelige sinn, og bli inspirert av hans grei tilnærming.

Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) was an English philosopher, scientist, and statesman. Recognized for his intelligence from a young age, Bacon would develop the empirical basis for modern scientific inquiry—known today as the scientific method—by promoting skepticism and observational experimentation as essential for the discovery of truth and the growth of human knowledge. A central figure of the scientific revolution and the Renaissance, Bacon was recognized as Lord Verulam and Viscount St. Alban during his lifetime and was honored by both Queen Elizabeth I and King James VI for his contributions to society. Bacon was also an accomplished statesman, responsible for drafting early legal documents and charters for the British colonization of the Americas. His career was not without controversy, however, as accusations of bribery tarnished his reputation and barred him from government service toward the end of his life and career. Today, he is remembered as one of the founders of modern science whose theories and methods continue to form the basis of all scientific experimentation and inquiry.
