Autorenporträt
Roger Bacon was a medieval English philosopher and Franciscan friar who placed considerable emphasis on empiricism, and has been sometimes credited as one of the earliest European advocates of the modern scientific method inspired by the works of Plato and Aristotle. Born in Ilchester, Somerset, England, circa 1214 to 1220, Bacon was a prolific scholar who made significant contributions to mathematics, optics, and linguistics, as well. One of his notable works, 'The Mirror of Alchimy' (Speculum Alchemiae), attributed to him, although the authorship remains uncertain, demonstrated his engagement with alchemical thought, which during his time was intricately linked with the pursuit of knowledge. Bacon argued for the importance of experimentation and frequently wrote about how the manipulation of substances can lead to a greater understanding of the natural world. His style combined the meticulous observations characteristic of 13th-century science with the allegorical and spiritual interpretations of alchemical work. Bacon's writings were profoundly influential on later scientists and thinkers, cementing his legacy as an early forerunner in the development of the modern scientific traditions. His dedication to learning and empirical methods gained him the title 'Doctor Mirabilis' or 'Wonderful Teacher' in the later years. Despite facing imprisonment towards the end of his life due to some of his controversial ideas, Bacon's intellectual contributions have continued to be celebrated throughout the centuries.
