The Elements Of Inductive Logic: Designed Mainly For The Use Of Students In The Universities - Softcover
Synopsis
The Elements Of Inductive Logic: Designed Mainly For The Use Of Students In The Universities by Thomas Fowler. This work provides a foundational, university?level survey of inductive reasoning, distinguishing the processes of induction from deduction and outlining the conditions under which hypotheses may be legitimate. It surveys the nature of inductive inference, the roles of observation and experiment, and the utility of classification, nomenclature, and terminology in science. A central portion is devoted to the Inductive Methods: the Method of Agreement, the Method of Difference, the Double Method of Agreement, the Method of Residues, and the Method of Concomitant Variations, followed by Imperfect Inductions and the theory and practice of verification. The text also treats the fallacies that can arise in induction, including non?observation, mal?observation, false analogy, misapplication of final causes, and the overreliance on authority. It closes with the relation of induction to deduction and the role of verification, and it embeds its discussion in a historical context with references to Bacon, Aristotle, Hume, Mill, and Whewell. The book is an accessible, if rigorous, guide for students studying the scientific method.
