According to Bacon, the objets of scientific inquiry were a phenomena that could be found by
unaided senses. Thinking of present day today, we live in a world with advanced technology and
super machines, would Bacon change his views if he were alive? Why or why not? What do you
think Bacon would consider to be object of inquiry in todays time if he were to write about it?
Please provide as much information as possible. Physics, phylosophy, advanced physic
Solution
Although modern scientists have altered Bacon’s philosophies, we still use the method of
establishing true knowledge via uncertainty and experimentation that Bacon started in 1620. The
philosophical work left by Bacon marks a very important advancement in the study of the world
around us, but this technique of investigation was not completed in a vacuum. Rather, Bacon's
work should be observed as a part of a wide-ranging cultural revolution accelerated by the
growth of the printing press in the fifteenth century.
When Bacon's philosophies on experimentation and observation were accepted, people started
using them to exploit nature for profit. The lessons from nature were not much about altering
conventional attitudes and beliefs, but more about invigorating the economy. By the end of the
sixteenth century, the Scientific Revolution gave rise to an Industrial Revolution which radically
changed the everyday lives of people around the world. Western society has been progressing on
Bacon's model for the past three hundred years. We may doubt Bacon's philosophy, but there is
plenty that human senses miss. Hence, Bacon is unlikely to change his views if he were alive.
