About “Novum organum scientiarum”
The Novum Organum, published in 1620, is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon written in Latin. The title refers to Aristotle's Organon, a treatise on logic. In Novum Organum, Bacon presents a new system of logic, which he believes is better than traditional syllogism. This method is now called the Baconian method. The work is part two of Instaurationis Magnae, a larger project by Bacon to reform the study of nature. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
