The Novum Organum is a philosophical work by Francis Bacon, written in Latin and published in 1620. The title references Aristotle's Organon, his treatise on logic and syllogism; in its pages Bacon sets out a new system of logic — the Baconian method — which he believes superior to the old ways, built on observation, experiment, and the patient interpretation of nature.
