Induction, Science, and Morality

Beschreibung

This book offers new insights into Hume s problem of induction. In addition to that, it argues against the coherentist justification of induction, refuting Hume's initial problem of induction and develops counter-inductions to defend scientific realism from pessimists and advocates a realist theory of scientific development. In doing so, this book enriches the moral realism debate with the scientific realism debate and is of great value to researchers and advanced students in philosophy of science.
