The traditional approach is modeled on that taken in accounts of deductive inference. It seeks universally applicable schemas or rules or a single formal device, such as the probability calculus. After millennia of halting efforts, none of these approaches has been unequivocally successful and debates between approaches persist. The Material Theory of Induction identifies the source of these enduring problems in the assumption taken at the outset: that inductive inference can be accommodated by a single formal account with universal applicability. Instead, it argues that that there is no single, universally applicable formal account. Rather, each domain has an inductive logic native to it.The content of that logic and where it can be applied are determined by the facts prevailing in that domain. Paying close attention to how inductive inference is conducted in science and copiously illustrated with real-world examples, The Material Theory of Induction will initiate a new tradition in the analysis of inductive inference. 410 0$aBSPS Open 606 $aInduction (Logic) 610 $abooks about philosophy of science. 610 $abooks about science. 610 $abooks for scientists. 610 $achance. 610 $adeductive inference. 610 $adeductive logic. 610 $ahistory of science. 610 $ainductive inference. 610 $ainductive logic. 610 $ainductive support. 610 $amaterial theory of induction. 610 $anew theory of induction. 610 $aphilosophy of science. 610 $aprobability. 610 $astudy of chance. 610 $astudy of probability. 610 $astudy of science. 610 $atheory of induction. 615 0$aInduction (Logic) 676 $a161 700 $aNorton$b John D.$01252654 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910585983303321 996 $aThe Material Theory of Induction$92904236 997 $aUNINA
