Four Idols

            In The Four Idols that Francis Bacon wrote speak of the false notions made by previous idols or "phantom" images. "The idols and false notions which are now in possession of the human understanding, and have taken deep root therein, not only so beset men's minds that truth can hardly find entrance." Bacon have thought these teaching to have been poluting the minds of others and thus disregarded what these others said. All four of his "Idol" are great in depth explanations on the truth behind each one. .
             Bacon's Idols of the Theater did not have a great effect on me. Bacon was saying that the theater often was corrupted images that was established on the stage for public viewing. "In the plays of this philosophical theater.that stories invented for the stage are more compact and elegant, and more as one would wish them to be, than true stories .
             out of history." (26) This is telling us how many false notions are given while seeing a play, now a days it would also included movies as well. Men make these films on .
             historical topics and turn them into compact love stories when they really weren't that way in history. "So many stage-plays representing worlds of their own creation after an unreal and scenic fashion." (17) The plays are worlds that the writers created and are seemingly false and stories of fiction. These are the false teaching that are built up and given to a mass amount of people and are believed in. .
             The Idols of the Tribe had no significance to me at all. This is about how Bacon perceives the way that human make reasonable understandings. "He rejects the difficult things from impatience of research .lest his mind should seem to be occupied with things mean and transitory; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinon of the vulgar." (20) This shows that the human nature is to want to understand those things that are easy and someone can relate too. Once something gets too difficult or is not a common teaching the human nature will just shrug it off and try not to worry about it since it may be to difficult for their mind to grasp.
