This review is from: Francis Bacon: Novum Organum - With Other Parts of The Great Instauration (Volume 3, Paul Carus Student Editions) (Paperback)
Good translation of the original Latin by the great "renaissance man" and important English writer, thinker, statesman Sir Francis Bacon, . This is a seminal work in the origin of modern, empirical science. Scholars of renaissance culture will also find it valuable. Bacon's outline of the "idols" of thought (ways of thinking) that obscure truth is classic and still relevant. Bacon's "novum organum" or new science also includes perhaps the first description of the modern scientific method; formulate a hypothesis based on known data and then test it against the facts. Essential.

This review is from: Francis Bacon: Novum Organum - With Other Parts of The Great Instauration (Volume 3, Paul Carus Student Editions) (Paperback)
Though somewhat obscure, this book should be more widely known and read. Very enlightening and well ahead of it's time. Terrific, readable translation. You'll never look at the world again in the same way!
