Özet:

 Francis Bacon, an English philosopher, politician, and writer, is accepted one of the pioneers of modern science in the context of his emphasis on the importance of experimental science and the new scientific method he proposed so that humanity could discover all the secrets of nature and improve itself. Bacon set out his thoughts on what he considered a proper scientific method in his The Advancement of Learning, first published in 1605. The philosopher then explains the correct method is for understanding natural science in his work Novum Organum, which consists of two parts and is a component of his unfinished project known as the Great Instauration. In his works, Bacon portrays in detail induction, which he deems the only way to increase human knowledge and more importantly, to gain control of nature. This attitude also contains a rebuttal to Aristotle and his followers. According to him, Aristotles controversial and difficult philosophy and its excessive synthesis with religion, especially by the scholastics, have created many problems that limit natural philosophy. Bacon aimed to solve these and similar issues. In the context of the aforementioned information, this article will attempt to concisely present Bacons understanding of science, his conceptualization of idols, his criticisms of Aristotle, and his views on the scientific method.

 İngiliz düşünür, siyasetçi ve yazar olan Francis Bacon, insanlığın doğanın tüm sırlarını keşfedebilmesi ve kendini geliştirebilmesi için deneysel bilimin önemine yaptığı vurgu ve önerdiği yeni bilimsel yöntem bağlamında modern bilimin öncülerinden biri olarak kabul edilir. Bacon, ilk olarak 1605 yılında yayımlanan Bilimlerin İlerlemesi adlı eserinde uygun bir bilimsel yöntem olarak gördüğü yaklaşımı hakkındaki düşüncelerini ortaya koyar. Ardından düşünür, Great Instauration adıyla bilinen fakat tamamlanamayan projesinin bir bileşeni şeklindeki iki kısımdan oluşan Novum Organum adlı eserinde doğa bilimlerini anlamak için doğru yöntemin ne olduğunu açıklar. Bacon eserlerinde, insanlığın bilgisini arttırmanın ve kendisi için daha da önemli amaç olan doğanın kontrolünü ele geçirmenin tek yolu şeklinde benimsediği tümevarımı ayrıntılı olarak resmeder. Bu tavır aynı zamanda Aristoteles ve onun takipçilerine yönelik bir karşı çıkışı barındırır. Ona göre, Aristotelesin tartışmalı ve güçlüklerle dolu felsefesi ve bunun özellikle skolastikler tarafından dinle aşırı bir biçimde sentezlenmesi doğa felsefesini sınırlayan birtakım sorunları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bacon, bu ve benzeri meseleleri çözüme kavuşturmaya yönelmiştir. Sözü edilen bilgiler ekseninde bu makalede, Baconın bilim anlayışı, idol kavramlaştırması, Aristoteles hakkındaki eleştirileri ve bilimsel yöntemle ilgili görüşleri özlü bir biçimde serimlenmeye çalışılacaktır.
