Platt cited this thinker's use of "prerogative instances" like "Instances of the Fingerpost" as inspiration for his essay "Strong Inference." This thinker compared a "table of existence and presence" and a "table of deviation" as part of his "First Vintage of the Form of Heat." In a book that was intended as part of a Great Instauration, this thinker listed Aristotle's corruption of natural philosophy with syllogistic logic among the "Idols of the Theatre." That book was named after Aristotle's collected works on logic and asserts that "our only hope is in genuine induction."
