New Scientific Method

Sir Francis Bacon: “Novum Organum” This book is the foundation of the Scientific Method.  We read a few clips out of this book for class, but it would be interesting to go in deeper and read more.

Charles Darwin: “The Origin of Species” Although this jumps ahead about 200 years past Bacon I feel like it pulls off a lot of the same thought process that Bacon started.  I have always learned about evolution in school, but have never had a chance to read about the roots of how it all came about.

John Locke: “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.” This is another book that looks pretty interesting.  Locke breaks down the traditional ideas of the nature and builds up a framework of thought based off of more of the idea of nurture or experiences.
