he means that we judge things on what we see instead of what we really know about what we are placing judgement on.
2. Idols of the cave- creating individual biases through the educational system
3. Idols of the Market Place0-the language created to share knowledge (e.g) knowledge is more concered with winninh arguments than revealing truth
4. Idols of the theatre-the Christian West has given reverence to four or five Greek scholars and has ignored any other understanding of the world
