Following Aristotle and others, Groarke situates the first stirrings of human understanding in a creative capacity for discernment that precedes knowledge, even logic. Relying on a new historical study of philosophical theories of inductive reasoning from Aristotle to the twenty-first century, Groarke explains how Aristotle offers a viable solution to the so-called problem of induction, while offering new contributions to contemporary accounts of reasoning and argument and challenging the conventional wisdom about induction.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;49.Induction (Logic)Induction (Logic)161Groarke Louis1576047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789846203321An Aristotelian account of induction3853530UNINA
