Baconian method

The Baconian Method, developed by philosopher Francis Bacon in the early 17th century, is an approach to scientific inquiry that emphasizes observation, experimentation, and inductive reasoning. Instead of relying solely on established theories, it encourages gathering data from the natural world, identifying patterns, and drawing conclusions. This method promotes a systematic way to test hypotheses and refine knowledge, ultimately leading to advancements in science. By focusing on empirical evidence and critical analysis, the Baconian Method laid the groundwork for the modern scientific method, encouraging a rigorous, evidence-based understanding of the world.
