He advocated and developed scientific progressive ideas and advocated the slogan of knowledge progress, which has been promoting social progress. This thinker who pursued truth all his life was called "the true ancestor of British materialism and the whole modern experimental science" by Marx. He also put forward many viewpoints in logic, aesthetics and pedagogy. He is the author of New Tools and Essays. The latter has 58 essays, which discuss a wide range of life problems from all angles. They are exquisite and philosophical, and have many readers.
He is the author of Academic Progress (1605) and New Tools (1620). Bacon sharply criticized the medieval scholasticism, holding that scholasticism and theology seriously hindered Bacon's book The New Tool and the progress of science, and advocated a comprehensive transformation of human knowledge, liberating the whole academic culture from scholasticism and realizing great rejuvenation. He believes that science must pursue the causes and laws of natural things. To achieve this goal, it must be based on sensory experience. He put forward the principles of materialism and empiricism, and believed that knowledge and ideas originated from the perceptual world, and sensory experience was the source of all knowledge. In order to acquire scientific knowledge about nature, we must base our knowledge on 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.

The articles in this book discussed his many original and incisive views on the relationship between man and society, man and himself, and man and nature from various angles, which made many people get enlightening guidance from this book. For example:
A person who has no virtue of his own will be jealous when he sees the virtue of others.

The best preventive medicine to protect people's mental health is the advice and suggestions of friends. "Doubt is good in my heart. Bacon's essays are like bats in birds, always flying in the dusk. Suspicion makes kings tend to be autocratic, husbands tend to be jealous, and wise men tend to be indecisive and melancholy. "
"Cunning is an insidious and evil intelligence. There is a big difference between a sly person and a smart person, not only in honesty, but also in talent. "
"The virtue of prosperity is temperance; The advantage of adversity is perseverance. The latter is a great virtue. "
Bacon made great academic achievements all his life, but as a politician, he suffered from his official career. His father was the queen's minister in charge of the national seal, and he was never valued by the queen after his death. It was not until James I came to power that he was gradually promoted. He has served as president of the court, procurator-general and minister in charge of seals. , was also awarded the title of baron, viscount and other nobles. However, he was later dismissed from all official positions. After becoming a commoner, Bacon devoted all his energy to the study of knowledge, and he eventually became the founder of the famous materialist philosophy in medieval England. Bacon died in April of 1626. Famous saying: The ideal of life is to live an ideal life.
