Francis Bacon was a great philosopher and thinker in the English Renaissance, and was regarded as one of the founders of modern experimental science. In the book "Theory of New Institutions", he put forward many groundbreaking ideas, the most famous of which is his famous saying "knowledge is power".

However, in his view, the only way to acquire real knowledge is not simply to be loyal to an authority or to accept what the classic tradition says.

His view is that the only correct way to acquire real knowledge is through experiments and experiments, which is a scientific research method that reflects the essence of things. He proposed that "we can only acquire real knowledge by observing and studying natural phenomena carefully".

He believes that people cannot blindly accept the knowledge passed down, nor can they guess the nature of things by intuition. The only way is to expand the field of knowledge that human beings have mastered step by step through experiments and experiments. Through continuous research and observation, people can establish a complete, experimental and scientific knowledge system.

One of the core ideas of Francis Bacon's methodology is "induction", and he proposed to use induction to explain natural phenomena and prove the truth of scientific theories.

According to the induction method, people can deduce the universal laws applicable to all situations through observing and studying a large number of specific cases. In his view, "scientific theories that have been repeatedly tested and constantly verified are truly reliable and correct scientific knowledge."

Francis Bacon also believes that human beings can't stay on the knowledge of the past, and only through constant experiments and innovations can we expand the boundaries of knowledge.

He believes that scientists must master a standard methodology, be brave in innovation on this basis, cross previously unknown fields, discover new truths, and open a new chapter in scientific research. Therefore, he also advocates the cooperation and exchange between researchers, which can not only make full use of experience, but also expand knowledge.

In a word, Francis Bacon tried to reveal the real knowledge method through induction and reflection, and proved it through experiments and judgments. This method goes beyond the traditional experience and belief thinking in the past and conforms to the practice in the scientific field. His contribution to scientific methods and knowledge system has provided important thoughts and contributions to the modernization of the world.
