What makes induction rational?
Dialogue 30 (4):503-11 (1991)
Abstract
In this paper I put forward what I think is a new approach to the problem of induction. I sketched the approach in brief sections of a book published in 1983. The same idea had occurred to the English philosopher John Foster and he presented it in a paper at about the same time.Links
