Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount of St. Alban, KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist and author. He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although his political career ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific revolution. His works established and popularized deductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method or simply, the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603, created Baron Verulam in 1618, and Viscount St Alban in 1621; as he died without heirs both peerages became extinct upon his death. BiographyFrom Wikipedia under the

To do so it is necessary, among other things, to infer that what is true of a small statistically derived sample is true of the greater population, for example. This new form of reasoning made the development of science much easier as it suggested to scientists new ways of thinking. Accordingly, scientific ideas advanced in Europe faster than they otherwise would have. The development of these ideas led Europe to become the… [cont.] Answered by ownpool - Tue Aug 18 04:18:39 2009 What does this quote by Francis Bacon mean? Q.
