Hume's Fork

David Hume (26 April 1711 – 25 August 1776) held that passion rather than reason governs human behavior. He argued against the existence of innate ideas (a doctrine that holds that the mind is born with ideas/knowledge, and that therefore the mind is not a "blank slate" at birth, asserting that not all knowledge is gained from experience and the senses,) postulating that humans can have knowledge only of the objects of experience, and the relations of ideas, calling the rest "nothing but sophistry and illusion."

Francis Bacon (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) has been called the father of empiricism. His works established and popularized inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today.
