Document Summary
Nothing at all???!: no rational justification. Hence, he believes there is no justification. Foundationalists look for the foundation of all our knowledge. Hume doesn"t find anything that he thinks works. Hume"s conception of reason" is too narrow : relying on some intellectual faculty when you make use of past experiences to predict the potential future, reason must be broader than hume defines it. Karl popper: no need to save induction, we use hypothetico-deduction instead: very like the scientific method (fancy name for the scientific method) Strawson: providing justice is what patterns of inference do, not what they need: giving patterns what patterns of inference do, (ex) kyle-duction : from any proposition, infer kyle will win the lotto! . Issue is whether induction is a good pattern of inference. Hume has been celebrating induction all along. The account as applied to the account itself. Hume has been using induction all along!
