Organon is a noun that refers to an instrument for acquiring knowledge.
Our word of the day comes directly from Greek. Organon was the title of a philosophical work by Ancient philosopher Aristotle. The word is mainly derived from the word ‘organ.,’ as in an ‘instrument’ or ‘device.’
Phil’s big turning point as a thinker was when he learned to use his computer as more than a device for entertainment, but as an organon, something that helped him learn more about the world around him.
