Roger Bacon is considered one of the first thinkers in the West to take the path of experimental science and to systematically substantiate its methodology.

Bacon identified three types of knowledge:

• sensual, based on direct bodily experience;

• rational, connected with mathematical and logical procedures;

• mystical, resulting from inner illumination.

All three types of knowledge are achieved in different ways: the first - by the accumulation of life experience, observations and comparisons;
the second - mastering the skills of mathematical and logical operations;  the third is how the exception comes spontaneously and cannot be artificially provoked. In this he fully follows the Neoplatonic tradition. However, according to Bacon, the main form of English theology of knowledge is the observation of the external world and experiment, during which we obtain the maximum volume about the world, which we later systematize with the help of rational operations.
