The New Organon Or True Directions Concerning The Interpretation of Nature

by Francis Bacon (1561-1636)
Translated by: James Spedding (1808-1881), Robert Leslie Ellis (1817-1859) and Douglas Denon Heath (1811-1897)

The Novum Organum is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon published in 1620. The title translates as “new instrument”. This is a reference to Aristotle’s work Organon, which was his treatise on logic and syllogism. In Novum Organum, Bacon details a new system of logic he believes to be superior to the old ways of syllogism. For Bacon, finding the essence of a thing was a simple process of reduction, and the use of inductive reasoning . . . This work was critical in the historical development of the scientific method.
