Abstract
Francis Bacon is famous for the saying "Knowledge is power." From the standpoint of this aphorism, criticized he the philosophies and sciences of Aristotle, Plato, Epicurus and so forth, because these studies were useless for the practical use and did not make any contribution towards man's life. Natural Philosophy that had been long forsaken, occupied in Bacon's new learning an important position. True Philosophy should, he emphasizes, take the material offered by natural history and mechanical arts, and store it into memory just like bees which gather and digest. What Bacon aimed at in his learning was to enlarge the rule and power of mankind over nature and promote man's happiness. The foundation of the Royal Society of London for Improving Nature Knowledge tells us that Bacon's long-cherished ideas were inherited and realized.
