Plato's "Allegory Of The Cave" And Francis Bacon's "The Four Idols" - How We Know What We Know

Abstract: 4 pages in length. Theorists have long tried to understand how man knows what he knows, being that there is not guidebook to confirm if his assumptions are correct or merely figments of his own desire to have it be true. Plato and Francis Bacon took this quandary to task and respectively came up with much the same viewpoint about human nature and its capacity to misconstrue, exaggerate and disproportionate what might otherwise be considered the truth. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
