Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a critical examination of inductive reasoning, the method by which inferences about the unknown are made from propositions known to be true. Inductive reasoning is essential to scientific discovery, distinguishing it from deductive reasoning that relies on indisputable axioms. The author argues that inductive inferences are characterized by the assumption of universal causation and uniformity of nature. While the author acknowledges the importance of hypotheses in guiding experiments, they emphasize that a hypothesis must be differentiated from a valid induction, which must rest upon a collection of observations that conform to the requirements of one of the inductive methods or be coextensive with the whole experience of mankind. The book's insights into inductive reasoning are significant for understanding the foundations of scientific knowledge and the limits of human understanding.
