Question
Nelson Goodman’s book Fact, Fiction, and Forecast uses two time-dependent examples of these attributes to argue that a certain process works better for predicates with an entrenched usage. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name these things. One thinker used the example of a man who is asked to imagine one of these things to show that some ideas cannot be drawn from impressions in a counterexample to his own “copy principle.”
ANSWER: colors [or shades; accept missing shade of blue; accept blue; accept green; accept grue; accept bleen]
[10e] Goodman posited grue and bleen in his “new riddle of [this process],” which builds on Hume’s problem concerning it. This process, which uses past cases to generalize future cases, is contrasted with deduction.
ANSWER: induction [accept New Riddle of Induction]
[10m] Goodman described how induction can be justified by creating a reflective equilibrium, a term originally coined by this author of A Theory of Justice to describe how societies compromise on moral principles.
ANSWER: John Rawls
