Abstract

I said in chapter 1 that most of the fallacies in the gang of eighteen are research programmes in their own right. In the present chapter I shall try to make good on this claim. Hasty generalization is usually classified as an inductive fallacy. The research programme that inheres in a correct understanding of it is little short of the project in inductive logic. Inductive logic is too much to handle in a single chapter, even if I knew how. But headway can be made with the problem of induction and a well-known attack upon the confirmation relation.KeywordsInductive LogicPositive InstanceGreen ThingCognitive SuccessConfirmation TheoryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
