He served both as Attorney General and as Lord Chancellor of England.<\/p>\n
After his death, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew Atlantis\u201d was Bacon\u2019s most spiritually inspired literary work.
\nIn it he presents his vision of an advanced civilization, in which scientific understanding and application compliments enlightened religious belief and practise in the creation of a future utopia.<\/p>\n
The consciousness that gave rise to this visionary work also influenced the philosophical and spiritual framework on which the new nation of the United States of America was formed.<\/p>\n
Bacon was involved in the establishment of early colonies in the new world and was considered by Thomas Jefferson, among others, to have contributed greatly to the welfare of mankind, the spirit of his work being included in the American Constitution.
