Default Re: Settle a strange question: Is a watch an organon?

lol, is the watch a principle or set of principles? Most watches I have come across were physical objects.

You are right that checking a watch in and of itself is not a philosophical or scientific investigation.

A watch is an instrument used for gaining knowledge, but I don't think calling it an organon would be correct. Organons are methods (logical instruments) not physical things.
