Roger Bacon (ca. 1220 - ca. 1292)
Read this excerpt from Roger Bacon, On Experimental Science (ca. 1268 AD).
"Should some future cataclysm destroy all but the bare outlines of the philosophical works of the past centuries, what a crowd of conscientious doubts would beset the scholars of the future as to the existence of two thinkers, both bearing the name Bacon, agreed in assigning an important place in their doctrines to empirical knowledge?" Medieval historian Marc Bloch, on Roger Bacon and Francis Bacon, in The Historian's Craft (Vintage, 1953), p. 123.
