Excellent article that clearly explains the meaning and significance of "induction" in the history of philosophy. Relates the concept to philosophy of science as well as epistemology, demonstrating how the issues raised by induction are relevant to broader questions about the foundations of rationality. Its slight bias toward Christian faith does not detract from the information presented. Please note that ?The Catholic Encyclopedia? is a historic reference source and should be viewed in the context of resource material dated around 1910.
