This book sets out to explore the fundamental principles underpinning the logic of induction, by which we derive general truths from our observations of the world around us. The author meticulously examines the assumptions we must make about the universe in order to apply inductive reasoning, such as its uniformity and the consistency of how different observers perceive it. Through detailed analysis of the processes of observation, and the role of language, terms, and propositions, the author sheds light on the nature of scientific laws, the limits of our knowledge, and the distinction between hypothetical and categorical statements. This book presents a comprehensive and nuanced account of the foundations of inductive logic, highlighting its crucial role in our understanding of the world and offering valuable insights for both philosophers and scientists.
