Francis Bacon,1st Viscount St Alban KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626), son of Nicholas Bacon by his second wife Anne (Cooke) Bacon, was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, lawyer, jurist, and author. He served both as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England. Although his political career ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific revolution. Indeed, his dedication may have brought him into a rare historical group of scientists who were killed by their own experiments. His works established and popularized an inductive methodology for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method or simply, the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today. Bacon was knighted in 1603, created Baron Verulam in 1618, and Viscount St Alban in 1621; as he died without heirs both peerages became extinct upon his death. BiographyFrom Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Why is Francis Bacon's writing so much more conversational and metaphorical than other British Philosophers? Q. He almost sounds French to me haha. But, you can still hear the English in him. It is amazing how cultures think diffferently. Bacon is incredible!! Have the empiricists misinterpreted Bacon? How important was his Novum Organum to his Great Instauration? What did Bacon hope the Instauration would eventually accomplish? Asked by Law Man - Sat Oct 31 16:09:57 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. His style is different from that of other philosophers because he is an early philosopher. Increasingly, philosophers came to see themselves less as practical "men of affairs", and more as self-consciously professional philosophers. This trend continues, in that modern academic philosophy is - apart from a few mavericks - a very bloodless and technical exercise with very little of the personality of the thinker in it. Another factor is that he was writing at a time when the English language was robust, confident, and expansive, happy to take on ideas and expressions from different European cultures. Shakespeare and many other near contemporaries are similar in this. I'm glad you enjoy reading him. He is marvellous.

They could not have written what they did if they were not familiar with the writings of Thomas Aquinas, the Scholastics, St. Augustine, and others. Aquinas could not have written what he did without Aristotle. Aristotle and Aquinas are generally considered the two best philosophers in the Western tradition.
