Etymology
Organon comes from a Greek word that meant 'tool' or 'instrument', and it is the same root as the English organ (a musical instrument or a body part used like a tool). Aristotle called his books on logic the Organon, so today organon means a system or 'tool' for getting knowledge or a method of thinking.
