Descrição:

Bacon was the first philosopher in the history of the philosophy of science to realize that pure Aristotelian methods taught scientists nothing
about the universe, finding answers for observed phenomena, but lacking the great leaps made by Platonist thought.
-He realized that whilst deduction allowed the application of a general rule to a particular and specific circumstance, induction was needed to
allow observations of small or specific circumstances to a larger population, or the wider universe.
-The other major addition to the scientific method made by Bacon, possibly his biggest contribution to the history of the philosophy of
science, was the idea of experimental science, the basis of induction. He believed research could be used to test the validity of real
world observations, with inductive postulations made to generalize the findings to the population as a whole.
He also developed the practice that he called the Instance of the Fingerpost,' where he proposed that an experiment should be designed
around two discrete hypotheses the researcher should aim to find in favor of one and refute the other
