Not really. His empirical philosophy was, no doubt, of importance, but
chemistry as we understand it was the creation of Boyle, Lavoisier,
Dalton, Berzelius, and Avogadro, long after his death.

"There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump
of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that
because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in
the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I
can't see it that way."
