Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. His works argued for the possibility of scientific knowledge based only upon inductive and careful observation of events in nature. Most importantly, he argued this could be achieved by use of a skeptical and methodical approach whereby scientists aim to avoid misleading themselves. While his own practical ideas about such a method, the Baconian method, did not have a long lasting influence, the general idea of the importance and possibility of a skeptical methodology makes Bacon the father of scientific method. The practical details of which are still central in debates about science and methodology today. 培根被称作实验哲学之父。他提出科学研究应该应该基于对自 然现象的仔细观察和归纳。最重要的是，他认为科学家应该通 过不断质疑和有条理的方法来得出正确结论。虽然他自己总结 的实践方法“培根法”并没有产生深远影响，但是他认定通过 质疑来获得真理的想法，使他成为了实验方法之父。他的科学 实践理论仍然现今是科学方法的核心。
