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...

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 ...
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...
The Laplace-Jaynes approach to induction

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

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
Scientific realism Material induction Norton
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...
History of Science and the Material Theory of Induction:Einstein’s Quanta, Mercury’s Perihelion
the Material Theory of Induction History of Science
2008/4/14
The use of the material theory of induction to vindicate a scientist’s claims of evidential warrant is illustrated with the cases of Einstein’s thermodynamic argument for light quanta of 1905 and his ...
Can Rationalist Abductivism Solve the Problem of Induction?

2008/4/10
According to Laurence BonJour, the problem of induction can be solved by recognizing the a priori necessity that inductive conclusions constitute the best explanations of inductive premises. I defend ...
A Mug's Game? Solving the Problem of Induction with Metaphysical Presuppositions

2008/4/9
This paper argues that a view of science, expounded and defended elsewhere, solves the problem of induction. The view holds that we need to see science as accepting a hierarchy of metaphysical theses ...
Contrary to formal theories of induction, I argue that there are no universal inductive inference schemas. The inductive inferences of science are grounded in matters of fact that hold only in particu...
My purpose in this chapter is to survey some of the principal approaches to inductive inference in the philosophy of science literature. My first concern will be the general principles that underlie t...
