The Causes Of Error

By Roger Bacon

Book Overview

The Causes of Error is a philosophical treatise written by Roger Bacon, a 13th-century English philosopher and Franciscan friar. The book explores the nature of human knowledge and the causes of error in human reasoning. Bacon argues that the primary cause of error is the reliance on faulty or incomplete information, which can lead to false beliefs and misconceptions. He also discusses the importance of empirical observation and experimentation in acquiring knowledge, and emphasizes the need for critical thinking and skepticism in evaluating claims and arguments. The Causes of Error is considered a seminal work in the history of philosophy and science, and has influenced subsequent thinkers such as Francis Bacon and Ren����� Descartes.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Opus Majus of Roger Bacon Part 1, by Roger Bacon.
