2. Sir Francis Bacon said that “the way to do science is to clear your mind of all the garbage you have previously been taught, then collect data with an open mind, and after the data is collected the correct interpretation of the data will come to you.” Today's philosophers say science doesn't work that way. What do you suppose they say instead?

Answer and Explanation:

Today's philosophers would claim that the "trash" that Francis Bacon asks to be thrown away is an important element of scientific advancement. This is because it is within this "garbage" that are the issues that must be discussed scientifically. It is this garbage that promotes the questioning of situations and the development of scientific experiments that seek to answer them and present an advance in several areas. In other words, the philosophers reject the idea that science is done with a clear mind, but with a mind loaded with questions.
