This book occupies an important position in the academic history of Europe. The scientific classification it expounded and the new structure of the scientific knowledge system it established were the forerunner of modern scientific classification, which caused widespread repercussions at that time and had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
Bacon was made a viscount in 1620, which was the most prominent period in Bacon's politics.
It was at this time that Bacon's important masterpiece, the famous Great Renaissance, was published.

In New Tools, Bacon criticized Aristotle's scientific reasoning procedure adhered to by scholasticism and put forward his own experimental induction. The basic ideas expressed by Bacon are of great significance to observation and experiment, which laid the foundation of modern inductive theory and formed the core of the methods that scientists have been using since then. New Tools is one of the most influential works of logic and philosophy in modern times.
