Sir Francis Bacon was the great exponent of experimentalism, and of induction as opposed to Aristotelian induction. He is often considered to be the father of the technological revolution.
FWIW, in my humble opinion, Novum Organum and the Advancement of Learning are two of the greatest works ever produced in history.
Novum Organum (english) Novum Organum (latin) Advancement of Learning
Pico della Mirandola (oddly, an ancestor of mine)
Very cool. Elder William Brewster was an ancestor of mine. Whenever I go the the capital rotunda in Washington DC and look at his picture on the wall I get that "I'm really really proud he was my great (x11) grandfather" felling. One interesting note: He was a fugitive in hiding when he boarded the Mayflower on charges of printing illegal books....I inherited some of his genes : )
The fitness algorithm of the spelling checker was not intelligent enough to remove an unfit correctly spelled word rendering an unfit sentence. I will insert a carefully designed "e" so the sentence does not become extinct.
