Information about Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon

A key figure in the Renaissance, Sir Francis Bacon was a noted philosopher, author and statesman whose promotion of active science greatly affected the English-speaking world. Bacon was a productive writer, even though his aspirations were political. His many essays, 58 in fact, were aphorisms on political behavior. He published his "The Advancement of Learning" in 1605 in the hopes of getting King James to support the sciences. Bacon's later years were spent writing four major works: "History of Henry VII", "De Autmentis Scientarium", "The New Atlantis" and"Sylva Sylvarum". He died in the name of science, catching a chill and then bronchitis while stuffing a hen with snow in an attempt to determine how cold could prevent putrefaction.

Date of Birth: January 22, 1561
