- W204570608 abstract "llTANY of Hume's expositors and critics have -***unwittingly collaborated to present a con? fused and mistaken picture of his views both on the problem of induction and on the related problem of providing rational support for in? ductively derived conclusions.1 Specifically, they contend: (1) that he thinks no inductive pro? cedures provide rational justifications, (2) that he does not distinguish between rational and irrational belief, (3) that he advances an epis temology which implies that our factual know? ledge is reducible to an irrational faith, and (4) that his critique of induction undermines his empirical method. We argue that these claims? made by philosophers as diverse as Popper, Ben? nett, Kneale, and Will?are groundless. The problem of induction is universally attributed to Hume's genius. We think this attribution wrongly locates his genius. Hume may be in many respects a sceptic, but he is not a sceptic about induction. In those passages where he is commonly said to exhibit scepticism about induction, we argue that he is in fact merely concerned to show that inductive reason? ing cannot provide the logical necessity which uniquely characterizes demonstrative reasoning (a priori reasoning) and that demonstrative reasoning cannot from its own resources alone prove matters of fact. If our arguments are cor? rect, they perhaps explain why teachers of philosophy often experience difficulty in using Hume's writings to introduce the problem of induction and, correlatively, why their students struggle to uncover the problem in Hume's pas? sages. The answer is startlingly simple: the prob? lem of induction, as we conceive that problem today, is simply not to be found in Hume's philosophy." @default.
