‭Francis‬‭Bacon,‬‭one‬‭of‬‭the‬‭most‬‭important‬‭philosophers‬‭of‬‭England,‬‭was‬‭born‬‭in‬‭London‬‭and‬‭educated‬
‭at‬‭Cambridge‬‭University.‬‭When‬‭he‬‭was‬‭only‬‭15,‬‭he‬‭went‬‭to‬‭France‬‭to‬‭work‬‭for‬‭the‬‭English‬‭ambassador.‬
‭Two‬ ‭years‬ ‭later‬ ‭he‬ ‭went‬ ‭back‬ ‭to‬‭England‬‭to‬‭study‬‭law.‬‭At‬‭the‬‭age‬‭of‬‭twenty-‬‭three‬‭he‬‭was‬‭chosen‬‭to‬
‭parliament.‬‭His‬‭ideas‬‭about‬‭how‬‭scientist‬‭should‬‭study‬‭things‬‭in‬‭nature‬‭help‬‭to‬‭bring‬‭the‬‭modern‬‭way‬
‭of thinking called the scientific method.‬
‭One‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭Bacon’s‬ ‭best‬ ‭known‬ ‭books‬ ‭was‬ ‭his‬ ‭Essays.‬ ‭Each‬ ‭Essay‬ ‭was‬ ‭a‬ ‭short‬ ‭piece‬ ‭of‬ ‭writing‬ ‭in‬
‭which‬‭he‬‭tried‬‭to‬‭give‬‭a‬‭lesson‬‭by‬‭discussing‬‭sides‬‭of‬‭a‬‭subject‬‭such‬‭as‬‭studying,‬‭conversation,‬‭friends‬
‭and‬‭healthy‬‭living.‬‭In‬‭many‬‭of‬‭his‬‭books,‬‭Bacon‬‭explained‬‭how‬‭scientists‬‭should‬‭study‬‭things‬‭as‬‭they‬
‭really‬‭existed‬‭in‬‭nature‬‭and‬‭then‬‭tried‬‭to‬‭figure‬‭out‬‭what‬‭caused‬‭a‬‭particular‬‭thing‬‭to‬‭be‬‭as‬‭it‬‭was.‬‭Later,‬
‭by‬ ‭doing‬ ‭experiments,‬ ‭the‬ ‭scientist‬ ‭could‬ ‭see‬‭that‬‭any‬‭one‬‭cause‬‭would‬‭always‬‭have‬‭the‬‭same‬‭result.‬
‭This‬‭method,‬‭which‬‭is‬‭called‬‭inductive‬‭reasoning‬‭,‬‭is‬‭used‬‭by‬‭all‬‭the‬‭scientists‬‭today,‬‭but‬‭it‬‭was‬‭new‬‭in‬
‭Bacon’s time.‬
