Date:

The idols of Bacon are problematic ideas
The four of them are:

  • Idol of the Tribe
    Everything that all humans possess that distort objective observation
  • Idol of the Cave
    Someone's personal idols. These are the things that distort the objective observation
  • Idol of the Market Place
    A wrong choice of words hinders understanding
  • Idol of the Theatre
    'Knowledge' and ideas that came into people's minds by Dogma's and wrong laws of demonstration. Things that are believed because of authority.
