'''Francis Bacon, Viscoont St. Alban'''{{Efn|name=title|Thare is some confusion ower the spellin o "Viscoont St. Alban". Some soorces, sic as the Dictionary of National Biography (1885) an the Encyclopædia Britannica (11t ed., 1911), spell the teetle wi "St. Albans"; ithers, sic as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2007), spell it "St. Alban".{{Sfn |Fowler|1885|p=346}}{{Sfn |Chisholm|1911}}}} {{post-nominals|country=GBR|Kt|PC|QC}} ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|eɪ|k|ən}}; 22 Januar 1561{{spaced ndash}}9 Apryle 1626), wis an Inglis filosofer, statesman, scientist, jurist, orator, essayist an author. He served baith as [[Attorney General for Ingland an Wales|Attorney General]] an as [[Laird Chancellor]] o Ingland. Efter his daith, he remeened extremely influential throu his warks, especially as filosofical advocate an practeetioner o the [[scienteefic method]] in the [[scienteefic revolution]].

Bacon haes been cried the faither o [[empiricism]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.psychology.sbc.edu/Empiricism.htm |title=Empiricism: The influence of Francis Bacon, John Locke, and David Hume |publisher=Sweet Briar College|date= |accessdate=21 October 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130708012140/http://www.psychology.sbc.edu/Empiricism.htm|archivedate=2013-07-08}}</ref> His warks argued for the possibility o [[science|scienteefic]] [[knawledge]] based anerly upon [[inductive raisonin]] an carefu observation o events in [[Naitur (filosofie)|naitur]]. Maist importantly, he argued this coud be achieved bi uise o a sceptical an methodical approach whaurbi scientists aim tae avoid misleadin themsels. While his awn practical ideas aboot sic a method, the ''[[Baconian method]]'', did nae hae a lang lastin influence, the general idea o the importance an possibility o a sceptical methodology maks Bacon the faither o [[scienteefic method]]. This merked a new turn in the rhetorical an theoretical framewark for science, the practical details o that are still central in debates aboot science an [[methodology]] the day. In addeetion tae his work in the sciences, Bacon wis an aa a venerable patron o leebrars an developed a functional seestem for the catalogin o beuks bi dividin them intae three categories- history, poesy, an filosofie- that coud forder be dividit intae mair speceefic subjects an subheidins.

Bacon wis generally neglectit at coort bi [[Elizabeth I o Ingland|Queen Elizabeth]], but efter the accession o [[James VI an I|Keeng James I]] in 1603, Bacon wis [[Knicht Bachelor|knichtit]].
