Sir Francis Bacon’s‚ The Four Idols‚ and Steven Jay Gould’s‚ Nonmoral Nature‚ are quite compatible as comparisons.

I think Bacon and Gould would have shared some similar ideas and agreed with one another on several issues. When describing Bacon’s Idols of the Tribe‚ Bacon states‚"have their foundation in human nature itself‚ and in the tribe or race of men. For it is a false assertion

Idols and Francis Bacon By: Bailey Gray Soc 101-099 TR 11:10 To Francis Bacon the four idols‚ tribe‚ cave‚ market place‚ and theater‚ beset the minds of men (Bacon). To him‚ the human race has four prejudices that haze our scientific thoughts: 1) Our perceptions are true and trust worthy‚2) Experience make us wise‚ 3) Language provides us to be superior beings‚ and 4) We believe previous scientific theories and philosophical assertions (Bacon). Because of these prejudices
