ROGER BACON
( 1214 - 1292 )
Roger Bacon is called the father of modern science. His early studies were in the faculty of arts at Oxford and in early 1240 he went to Paris to teach at the Arts faculty of university of Paris. There he turned his attention to science through the influence of Aristotle.
Roger Bacon’s significant contribution to the philosophy of science was his explanation about the role of experience and experiment in conforming or refuting speculative hypothesis. He believed in the practical value of scientific speculation and insisted that the criterion for the use of scientific knowledge should be part of a unifying ethical system. Bacon discovered gun powder, eye glasses and few other equipments.
