Austria's opinion of Bacon

Francis Bacon was a contributor to the Scientific Revolution, but he lived in London. Had he lived in Austria while making his theories and scientific statements, he probably would have been very popular. Along with his belief in inductive reasoning, one of Bacon's main beliefs was the refusal of faith, and trying to prove things by analytical studying and scientific research; not by tradition. Because the papal power was weakening in Austria at the time, Bacon's ideas probably would have achieved great success, especially amongst the political rulers.
