Francis Bacon (1561-1626) is a British philosopher, thinker, writer and scientist. He strongly advocated that "reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, ethics makes people cultivated, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent." Marx called it "the true ancestor of British materialism and the whole modern experimental science". Russell honored Bacon as "a pioneer in logically organizing scientific research procedures". He is the author of Academic Progress (1605) and New Tools (1620), etc., and puts forward the principle of materialist empiricism, holding that knowledge and ideas originate from the perceptual world, and sensory experience is the source of all knowledge. In order to acquire the scientific knowledge of nature, we must build our knowledge on the basis of sensory experience. He also put forward the empirical induction method, which advocated that based on the experimental and observation materials, after analysis, comparison, selection and exclusion, the correct conclusion was finally drawn. Bacon made great achievements in learning all his life, but as a politician, he suffered a lot from the hardships of his official career. It was not until James I was in power that he was gradually promoted. He successively served as the president of the court, the procurator-general, the minister in charge of seals, etc., and was also given the titles of barons, viscount and other nobles. However, he was later removed from all official positions. After becoming a commoner, Bacon devoted all his energy to the study of knowledge, and he eventually became the famous founder of materialist philosophy in medieval England.
