Question

John Norton produced a “material” theory of this procedure that doesn’t separate the factual and schematic parts of it. A book titled for “Foundations of Geometry and” this procedure first stated Nicod’s criterion for it. Larry Laudan used a “pessimistic” form of this procedure to argue against scientific realism. I. J. Good’s standard resolution of a paradox about this procedure uses a (*) Bayesian approach. The contrapositive underpins a paradox about this procedure proposed by Carl Hempel concerning whether (10[1])all ravens are black. (-5[1])The predicates bleen and grue were introduced in Nelson Goodman’s “New Riddle of” this procedure. David Hume’s version of the “problem of” this procedure involves the question (10[1])of whether the Sun will rise tomorrow. For 10 points, observations are used to reach a generalisation in what form of reasoning? ■END■ (10[1])
