Abstract
Philosopher Ian Hacking talks about the contributions of Sir Francis Bacon to scientific inquiry. Professor Hacking notes that while Bacon's approach later came to be viewed as a model for how science should be done, during his lifetime, he didn't actually have any strong, philosophical conceptions regarding proper scientific inquiry. In fact, his primary message was that those doing science should observe rather than read, and his greatest contribution may have been his emphasis on the value of curiosity.
