Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Reader: Ergänzungsband Zu the English Student, Lehrbuch Zur Einführung in Die Englische Sprache Und Landeskunde Francis Bacon, commonly known as Lord Bacon, was born in London in 1561, and died in 1626. He was made Lord Chancellor of England in 1618, in the reign of James I., with the title of Lord Verulam and afterwards Viscount St. Alban´s, and was a great political character. Bacon devoted much of his time to science, and, like his namesake Roger Bacon in the fifteenth century, he seems to have foreseen many of the discoveries which were afterwards made. But his most useful work was a book called the ´Novum Organum,´ or ´New Method,´ published in 1620, in which he sketched out very fully how science ought to be studied. He insisted that no knowledge can be real but that which is founded on experience, and that the only true way to cultivate science is to be quite certain of each step before going on farther, nor to be satisfied with any general law until you have exhausted all the facts which it is supposed to explain. For example, if you require to understand what heat is, and how it acts, you must not be satisfied, he says, by merely making a few experiments on the heat of the sun and that of fire, and trying from these to lay down some general rule of how heat works.
