A defense of this concept by Max Black invoked R. B. Braithwaite’s distinction of premise-circular arguments and rule-circular ones. To resolve a paradox about this concept, I. J. Good rejected Nicod’s criterion regarding an example with a white shoe. Lawlike generalizations are a proposed solution to a problem named for this concept in Fact, Fiction, and Forecast. Carl Hempel’s namesake paradox concerns using this process to find evidence that all ravens are black. Nelson Goodman used the terms grue and bleen in a “New Riddle” of this process that builds on David Hume, who claimed that there was no way to justify statements such as “the sun will rise” tomorrow. For 10 points, name this process of using observations to make inferences, often contrasted with deduction. ■END■
