6. Bacon’s 4 idols
Bacon's four idols are the tribe, the cave, the marketplace, and the theater.
He asserts that each of these "idols" prevents men from attaining true understanding. He addresses the errors, illusions, and corruptions which mentally prevents us from having a true understanding of nature and reality. 
 Bacon asserts that the only way to truly become knowledgeable and understand the world comes through individual exploration, along with reason, and testing one's understandings to be sure they are accurate.  Bacon's sense is that one does not take things on faith: the foundation for someone's "beliefs" come from reason and irrefutable evidence.

7. Idols of the tribe 
  The first of the series of "idols," or obstacles, that Bacon feels humans need to overcome in order to reason clearly. Idols of the tribe result from failings in human sense perception, and are general to all people.
They include a tendency to cling to whatever we believe, to believe only what we want (or are afraid not to believe).

8. Idols of the cave 
The second of the "idols." Idols of the cave result from an individual's tastes and prejudices. Your education, the books you have read and the company you keep all distort your perception of nature. As a result, human perceptions of nature vary widely, simply because all men are different.
The idols of the cave deal with each individual person.  Prejudices include those handed down from parents, peers, teachers, culture. (religion is an example)

9. Idols of the marketplace
  The third type of "idol." Idols of the marketplace come from men's association with others, and chiefly through words and language. Language is ambiguous, and often confuses our understanding of nature.
The idols of the marketplace deal with society as a whole and language. Words can be distorted, vague & ambigious.

10. Idols of the theater
The fourth type of "idol." Idols of the theater come from various philosophies; Bacon argues that all philosophies are no better than stage-plays. These are misunderstandings created by traditional philosophical and theological systems that give inaccurate and unverifiable account of the world.
Ex: scientific facts that are groundless because they have not been supported, but are generally accepted as the truth.
