Francis Bacon:
1st Viscount of St Albans.
(Strand (London), 22 January 1561 – Highgate, 9 April 1626) English philosopher, statesman, lawyer, jurist, author and pioneer of the scientific method. He was also called Lord Verulam. He became Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although he fell into disfavour politically in 1621, he still remained extremely influential through his works, especially as a philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the Scientific Revolution. Bacon has therefore been called the father of empiricism.
Natura enim non nisi parendo vincitur.
