  1. 1. Practical Induction

    This book develops a pragmatic, context-sensitive account of inductive reasoning, arguing that inductive practices are best understood in terms of the practical problems they are meant to solve rather than as purely formal rules. It explores how background knowledge, aims, costs, and available methods shape which inductive inferences are appropriate, bringing together examples from scientific practice and everyday reasoning to show how reliability, trade-offs, and judgment govern the application of inductive procedures.
