Idol (philosophy)
Several philosophers have developed concepts that they have called idols, including:
- The idola of Francis Bacon, various obstacles humans face when trying to truly understand nature
- Friedrich Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, abstract unchanging philosophical concepts that need to be swept away to allow for true life to emerge.
