Roger Bacon: The Father of Experimental Science and Medieval Occultism is a book written by H. Stanley Redgrove that delves into the life and work of the 13th-century English philosopher and scientist, Roger Bacon. The book explores Bacon's contributions to experimental science, including his emphasis on empirical observation and the use of mathematics in scientific inquiry. However, it also examines Bacon's interest in what was then considered occult or mystical practices, such as alchemy and astrology. Redgrove argues that Bacon's interest in these fields was not at odds with his scientific pursuits, but rather a natural extension of his curiosity and desire to understand the natural world. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive look at Bacon's life and work, as well as the historical and cultural context in which he lived.1920.
