Experience and Prediction (Classic Reprint): An Analysis of the Foundations and the Structure of Knowledge - Softcover
Synopsis
How do we turn experience into reliable knowledge? This book explains how scientific knowledge is built, tested, and judged under uncertainty. It examines how predictions and inductive reasoning shape our view of the world and why knowledge can be best understood as a system of posits or wagers rather than simple truths.
The discussion moves from the foundations of knowledge to the structure of scientific reasoning. It shows how induction, prediction, and probability guide our beliefs, and how we distinguish between subjective impressions and objective facts. The book also explores the relation between waking and dream worlds and how Psychoanalysis can influence our view of prediction and evidence.
- How induction leads to reliable predictions and why predictions matter for science
- How to interpret knowledge as a system of posits or wagers
- How we differentiate subjective experience from objective existence
- How probability and verification shape our understanding of truth
Ideal for readers of philosophy of science and epistemology who want a clear map of how knowledge is built from experience to prediction.
