Nah, only that logic by itself is worse than useless. Man needs imagination, creativity and passion too, and these are every bit as valid as equations or microscopes.

He's talking about the single-minded pursuit of reason, which blinds people to creativity, imagination and passion. In the painting of Newton from around the same time, he's trying to measure the world with a compass, but ended up stooped and stunted, short of his real potential. (The compass image is also in The Ancient of Days, which shows Blake's central god/monster Urizen. Urizen = "your reason" or "horizon", again showing the horror of a strictly ordered, rational existence).
