Bacon is mainly a philosopher, not a scientist. From the beginning, he explored the possibility of experimental methods, wanted to be a scientific Columbus, and at the same time attracted the attention of others, so that they could turn these possibilities into reality. In methodology, Bacon tried to combine the traditional methods of scholars and craftsmen, which led to the real and legal combination of what he called experience and rational function.

Because these two traditions were rudely and unfortunately separated, the human family fell into chaos. When estimating the situation of these two traditions at that time, Bacon made a contrast between the accumulation and growth of handicraft skills and the wrong route of philosophical development.

He believes that although people who devoted themselves to mechanical technology in the early days were rough and clumsy, they soon gained new strength and talent. Ancient philosophy used to be full of vitality, but it was never recovered. For this opposite situation, the best explanation is that mechanical technology is often the single result of the joint efforts of many people, while in philosophy, it is often one talent who destroys many talents.

Many people succumb to one person's leadership ... so they can't make any new contributions. Because once philosophy is divorced from the experience that makes it grow, it becomes a dead thing. But as long as we combine the two functions of experiment and rationality more closely and purely, we can have great hope.
