Francis Bacon (1561–1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, and scientist known as the father of the scientific method. He championed empiricism, emphasizing observation and experimentation in knowledge acquisition. His works, like *Novum Organum* and *The Advancement of Learning*, laid the groundwork for modern science. Bacon also served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England, though his political career ended in scandal due to corruption charges. Despite this, his impact on scientific inquiry remains significant.
