Description:
Francis Bacon
Of the Advancement and Proficiencie of
Learning - a pioneering essay in support of empirical philosophy.
Experience does not mean the fallible senses that the skeptics attack, but experience filtered (through instruments, through the Novum Organum).
Limited skepticism: skepticism is of use to use only until the Organum has spoken.
