Description

Originally published in 1952, this critical survey examines scientific inference developed since World War I, offering detailed exposition of influential ideas including Keynes' cryptic concepts that remain unexplained elsewhere. The work is structured in four comprehensive parts: Part I discusses and illustrates the method of hypothesis with practical examples; Part II concerns induction and its applications; Part III explores probability theory aspects relevant to induction problems; Part IV outlines the problem's shape and solutions through the author's analytical approach. This Routledge Library Edition revival brings a foundational text back into circulation for scholars, students, and philosophers of science seeking rigorous grounding in classical inference methodology and its theoretical underpinnings.

Key Features

Part I of Foundations of Inference examines the method of hypothesis through detailed discussion and practical illustration for understanding scientific inference.

Part II focuses on induction as a core component of scientific methodology and inference within natural science investigation.

Part III addresses probability theory aspects bearing directly on induction problems central to scientific reasoning and inference.

Part IV outlines the shape of inference problems and their solutions using the author's transformative analytical approach.

This Routledge edition restores a 1952 publication offering exposition of Keynes and other influential scientific inference concepts.

The book provides detailed explanation of cryptically presented ideas about scientific inference that were quoted but previously unexplained elsewhere.
