Bacon's philosophical works shifted the entire focus of the knowledge-seeking enterprise away from the medieval concerns with predominantly religious themes. He introduced a new way of gathering scientific knowledge, the "Baconian Method", in which one moves from particular facts to more general knowledge of forms using experimentally discovered laws. He shunned what he saw as a vain craving for psychological satisfaction under the guise of a search for truth: "I find that even those that have sought knowledge for itself, and not for benefit or ostentation, or any practical enablement in the course of their life, have nevertheless propounded to themselves a wrong mark, namely statistician (which men call Truth) and not operation."
培根的哲学著作将知识寻求事业的全部焦点从中世纪以宗教为主要主题的关注转移开。他提出了一种收集科学知识的新方法，即“培根方法”。在这种方法中，人们利用实验发现的规律，从特定的事实转移到更普遍的形式知识。在他看来，在寻求真理的幌子下，追求心理满足是一种徒劳的渴望，他回避了这种渴望:“我发现，即使那些寻求知识本身，而不是为了利益或炫耀，或在他们的生活过程中任何实际的实现，却给自己留下了一个错误的标记，即统计学家(人们称之为真理)，而不是实际操作。”
（他驳斥了他认为的以探索真理为幌子的对哲理快乐的虚幻的渴望：我发现那些在他们一生中为真理本身，而不是为了利益或荣耀，或任何实用的目的而追求真理的人，都给自己贴上了一个错误的标签，那就是满足而不是实用。）

They also point to numerous ciphered messages throughout the plays, such as the word honorificabilitudinitatibus in Love's Labour's Lost, which forms the anagram Hi ludi F. Baconis nati tuiti orbi, "These plays, the offspring of F. Bacon , are preserved for the world."
Jonh Dewey, himself inspired by Bacon's views ( as summed up in the aphorism "Knowledge Is Power") to invent the philosophy known as American pragmatism, wrote "Francis Bacon of the Elizabethan age is the great forerunner of the spirit of modern life", who as "a prophet of new tendencies", "hardly receives his due as the real founder of modern thought."
他们还指出，整部戏剧中有许多加密的信息，比如《爱的徒劳》(Love’s Labour’s Lost)中的honorificabilitudinitatibus一词，它构成了字母组合Hi ludi F. Baconis nati tuiti orbi，“这些戏剧，F. Bacon的后代，被保存在了这个世界上。”
约翰·杜威(Jonh Dewey)受培根(Bacon)观点(如一句格言“知识就是力量”所概括)的启发，发明了被称为美国实用主义的哲学，他写道:“伊丽莎白时代的弗朗西斯·培根是现代生活精神的伟大先驱”，“作为新趋势的先知”，“作为现代思想的真正奠基人，他几乎没有得到应有的地位。”
The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use: the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes a middle course; it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own. Not unlike this is the true business of philosophy. Therefore from a closer and purer league between there two faculties' the experimental and the rational (such as has never yet been made), much may be hoped.
A complete system based on exactly such a synergy between experience and reason, as Bacon is here clearly anticipating, would have to wait many more centuries. It…
Critical both of Skeptics who claim that knowledge is impossible and of the dogmatists who claim that knowledge must be based on ancient Greek learning, Bacon seeks a balanced middle ground between the present and the past. His method, explicity desighned to be used by individuals to make sound judgments and to find out the truth for themselve, provides a purely mechanical procedure for attaining knowledge that is openly available to anyone. Before this method can be learned or applied, however, the mind must be cleared of all the falsehoods it has been conditioned to believe and carefully directed away from its false notions and erroneous ways.
Bacon's method is as follows. Always begin with as clear and unambiguous a…
According to Bacon the purpose of knowledge is not the attainment of bliss or happiness but the technological mastery of nature, Philosophers should focus on practical concerns, not the abstract contemplations about the ultimate natures of things that so interested medieval theologians, nor the attainment of inner tranquility sought by the Stoics and ancients. Philosophy should "endow the condition and life of man with new powers or works," and "extend more widely the limits of the power and greatness of man." Philosophers must stop "prostituting" themselves by supporting or establishing religious or even scientific dogma. Nor should they seek inner bliss or any other manner of "delight only and not of discovery." The Baconian method is thus a shift away…
