Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) fue un filósofo, político, abogado y escritor inglés, considerado uno de los principales impulsores del empirismo y del desarrollo del método científico moderno. Nació en Londres, Inglaterra, el 22 de enero de 1561, en una familia vinculada a la política y a la administración de la corte.

Estudió en la Universidad de Cambridge y posteriormente desarrolló una destacada carrera política durante el reinado de Jacobo I, llegando a ocupar el cargo de lord canciller de Inglaterra.

Bacon defendió la importancia de la observación, la experimentación y el razonamiento basado en la evidencia para alcanzar conocimientos fiables. Consideraba que las personas debían cuestionar los prejuicios y las ideas preconcebidas que dificultan la comprensión de la realidad. A estos errores del pensamiento los denominó «ídolos», que clasificó en distintas categorías.

Entre sus obras más importantes se encuentran Novum Organum (1620), donde expuso sus ideas sobre la investigación científica, y La nueva Atlántida, una obra utópica que presenta una sociedad organizada alrededor del conocimiento y el progreso científico.

Aunque su carrera política terminó tras ser acusado de corrupción en 1621, continuó dedicándose a la escritura y la investigación. Murió el 9 de abril de 1626.

Su pensamiento contribuyó a transformar la manera de estudiar la naturaleza y sentó importantes bases para el desarrollo de la ciencia experimental. Su legado permanece vigente en la filosofía de la ciencia y en la defensa de la investigación sistemática como herramienta para comprender el mundo.
