Francis Bacon, Novum Oraganum - The Idols Of The Market - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early modern philosopher Francis Bacon's work Novum Organum, specifically the section in book 1 covering the "four idols of the human mind" This episode focuses specifically on his description of the third type of idol, those of the market, which derive from our use of language to communicate our thoughts and to engage in inquiry. Bacon examines what distinctive sorts of errors of these types we can fall into and how they can arise.
