Francis Bacon's philosophy is displayed in the vast and varied writings he left, which might be divided into three great branches:
- Scientific works in which his ideas for a universal reform of knowledge into scientific methodology and the improvement of mankind's state using the Scientific method are presented.[83][84][85]
- Religious and literary works in which he presents his moral philosophy and theological meditations.[c][88]
- Juridical works in which his reforms in English law are proposed.[89]
