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. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;$v49. 606 $aInduction (Logic) 615 0$aInduction (Logic) 676 $a161 700 $aGroarke$b Louis$01576047 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789846203321 996 $aAn Aristotelian account of induction$93853530 997 $aUNINA
