The Pessimistic Induction:A Bad Argument Gone Too Far
anti-realism inductive generalization pessimistic induction scientific realism
2016/5/30
In this paper, I consider the pessimistic induction construed as a deductive argument (specifically, reductio ad absurdum) and as an inductive argument (specifically, inductive generalization). I argu...
In a formal theory of induction, inductive inferences are licensed by universal
schemas. In a material theory of induction, inductive inferences are licensed by
facts. With this change in the conc...
THE PROBLEM OF INDUCTION AND KARL POPPER’S HYPOTHETICO-DEDUCTIVE METHODOLOGY: A CRITICAL EVALUATION
HYPOTHETICO-DEDUCTIVE METHODOLOGY
2009/3/23
The focus of this paper is to examine the problem of induction as a methodology for science. It also evaluates Karl Popper’s deductive approach as the suitable methodology for scientific research. Pop...

Local, General and Universal Prediction Strategies: A Game-Theoretical Approach to the Problem of Induction
Problem of Induction Meta-Induction Prediction Method
2008/4/22
In this paper I present a game-theoretical approach to the problem of induction. I investigate the comparative success of prediction methods by mathematical analysis and computer programming. Hume's p...
The Pessimistic Induction from falsity of past theories forms a perennial argument against scientific realism. This paper considers and rebuts two recent arguments due to Lewis (2001) and Lange (2002)...
On the True Method of InductionorInvestigative Induction: Real But Invisible
Bacon Induction Puzzle-solving empiricism
2008/4/22
Scientists apply Bacon’s investigative induction by first cataloguing experimental discrepancies among apparent natures of things. Induction begins by multiplying discrepancies, thus creating a puzzle...
Ramsey-Sentence Realism as an Answer to the Pessimistic Meta-Induction
Structural Realism Pessimistic Induction Ramsey-Sentence
2008/4/22
John Worrall recently provided an account of epistemic structural realism, which explains the success of science by arguing for the correct mathematical structure of our theories. He accounts for the ...
This paper analyzes the epistemological significance of the problem of induction. In the first section, the foundation of this problem is identified in the thesis of gnoseological dualism: we only kno...
The Formal Equivalence of Grue and Green and How It Undoes the New Riddle of Induction
Green Grue
2008/4/21
The hidden strength of Goodman's ingenious "new riddle of induction" lies in the perfect symmetry of grue/bleen and green/blue. The very same sentence forms used to define grue/bleen in terms of green...
Induction is ‘the glory of science and the scandal of philosophy’. I diagnose why. I call my solution a “disappearance theory of induction”: inductive inferences are not themselves arguments, but they...

iduction probability theory de Finetti's theorem exchangeability
2008/4/21
An approach to induction is presented, based on the idea of analysing the context of a given problem into `circumstances'. This approach, fully Bayesian in form and meaning, provides a complement or i...
The Problem of Induction and Metaphysical Assumptions Concerning the Comprehensibility and Knowability of the Universe
Induction metaphysics physics explanation unity physicalism
2008/4/21
Even though evidence underdetermines theory, often in science one theory only is regarded as acceptable in the light of the evidence. This suggests there are additional unacknowledged assumptions whic...
Material Theory of Induction and Scientific Realism

2008/4/15
John Norton has advanced a general view of induction---`Material Theory of Induction'---that renders ampliative reasoning in a deep sense local. This paper is a sympathetic appraisal of this view, app...
