Features: Scholars of Chinese studies in Western philosophy generally prefer German philosophy and often overlook or dismiss British and American empiricism, always feeling that it lacks "flavor." In reality, this may not necessarily be entirely beneficial. For China today, it seems that the meticulous scientific analysis, emphasis on empirical evidence, methods, and spirit found in the British and American empiricism tradition are more urgently needed. As the originator of British and American empiricism, Bacon may still hold significant meaning for us today.
