Novum organum

Japanese: ノウム・オルガヌム(英語表記)Novum organum
Novum organum
A work by F. Bacon. It was first published in 1620 as the second part of "Great Innovations", and was given this name when it was republished in the Netherlands in 1645 after the author's death. "Noum" is Latin for "new", and "organum" means "logic", "tool", or "method", so it would be more appropriate to translate it as "New Logic" or "New Method", but in Japan it has been mistakenly translated as "New Organ" since the Meiji period. The original text is in Latin, and describes in the form of an aphorism "the very technique of elucidating nature and making the intellect work more certainly".

Japanese:
F.ベーコンの著作。最初1620年に《大革新》の第2部として刊行され,著者死後の45年にオランダで再刊されたとき,この名が付けられた。ノウムはラテン語で〈新〉,オルガヌムは〈論理学〉〈道具〉〈方法〉の意であるから,《新論理学》ないし《新方法》と訳すのが適切であるが,日本では明治以来誤って《新機関》と訳してきている。原文はラテン語で,アフォリズムの形で〈自然を解明し,知性をいっそう確かに働かせる技術そのもの〉を記している。
