Baconian Philosophy

the inductive philosophy of which it is sometimes said that Lord Bacon was the founder. This, however, is an exaggerated statement. What Lord Bacon did for this mode of ratiocination was to elucidate and systematize it and point out its great value. The modern triumphs of modern science have arisen from a resolute adherence on the part of its votaries to the Baconian method of inquiry.
