4 Bacon IDOLS :D

Bacons Four Idols

  1. Idols of the Tribe - The bias of human beings to jump to conclusions based on what is new or strange rather than investing tiime to understand what is true. Which is also known as a has generalization, when we fall for the hype basically wud be a great example of this idol.
  2. Idols of the Cave - Creating individual biases through the educational system, is basically seen within the program of CORE, where the students tend to create a bias that CORE is more important than any other class.
  3. Idols of the Marketplace - The language created to share knowledge locks us into specific way of knowing, which is seen basically in our different vinaculars liek the common day slang vinacular.
  4. Idoles of the Theatre - The chrstian west has given reverence to four or five Greek scholars and has ignored any other understanding of the world.
