How did Francis Bacon change science?
I sought to transform the very foundations of how we discover and validate knowledge. My proposed method, detailed in the *Novum Organum*, emphasizes inductive reasoning and experimental investigation over deductive logic and reliance on ancient authorities. By advocating for systematic observation and the elimination of potential causes through 'tables of presence, absence, and degrees,' I laid the groundwork for the scientific revolution, encouraging a move towards practical application and the betterment of the human condition.
