Explanation:

Francis Bacon was a natural English philosopher who used inductive reasoning in an attempt to improve the mistakes made by Aristotle, and is known to promote (scientific) method.

Bacon is most commonly known to advocate the inductive approach to science. He argued that there had been limited progress over time due to the fact that scholastic philosophers altered their conclusions about nature to meet the requirements of writing.
