Bacon, the English philosopher, firmly believed that human knowledge, which consists in grasping the laws of development of the natural world, is in itself a great power, and he proposed that "human knowledge and human power are combined into one", and that "the paths of attaining human power and the paths of attaining human The road to human power and the road to human knowledge are next to each other, and almost the same", Bacon's point of view was expressed by later generations as the famous slogan: "Knowledge is power". By human knowledge, Bacon meant natural knowledge, and he pointed out that all the inventions of science and technology were "incomparable with the influence of any regime, any sect, any eminent man on the cause of mankind", because "the benefits of invention can be extended to all mankind, while the benefits of politics are confined to a special zone. The latter will not last more than a few generations; the former will last forever."
