This philosopher advocated reclassifying knowledge into the three categories of history, poesy, and philosophy, with the first two being subordinated to philosophy. One work by this philosopher discusses the fantastical, contentious and delicate forms of the title concept, which he refers to as "distempers." A revised version of that work became the first volume of his projected six-volume work called The Great (*) Instauration. In another work by this author of The Advancement of Learning, he wrote about the tribe, the den, the marketplace, and the theater, which are four sources of false ideals, or idols. He also wrote a utopian novel called New Atlantis. For 10 points, name this advocate of the scientific method who wrote Novum Organum.
