Stove on the rationality of induction and the uniformity thesis
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 44 (3):561-566 (1993)
Abstract
Stove attempts to undermine Hume's argument on induction by denying Hume the claim that induction presupposes the uniformity of nature. I argue that Stove's attack on Hume's argument fails. *A paper from which the present piece was derived was read at the Hume Symposium. Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia, in July 1990, where George Couvalis and David Gauthier made helpful criticisms of my argument.Author's Profile
