“It would be madness, and inconsistency, to suppose that things which have never yet been performed, can be performed without employing some hitherto untried means.” (p. 253) [Francis Bacon. Novum Organum: Instauratio Magna (New Instrument: The Great Renewal). Emphasis added. Note: Organum – 1) set of principles for use in philosophical and scientific research; 2) set of works by Aristotle on logic and the art of philosophizing]
