- W658465385 abstract "If there are only nominal classifications and no natural kinds or real essences, what happens to induction which is based upon at least resem blance of instances in the past to instances in the future? Generally speaking, induction fares very poorly indeed in the hands of nominalists, and one wonders if that might not be to their disadvantage. That some leaves are green should be as supportive of the claim, All crows are black, as the fact that some crows are actually black (Hempel's paradox), or that grue emeralds may be green one day and blue the next depending upon our classification system (Goodman's riddle) both attest to the counter intuitive consequences of contemporary nominalism (not to mention Pop per's dismissal of induction as crucial to the scientific enterprise). Insofar as nominalism is correct, there is no need for justification of induction since induction is either impossible, or if possible at best groundless. This manifests itself in Quine's remark that ostensive learning is a case of induction . . . game of chance loaded dice, with the loaded dice being each man's spacing of qualities being enough like his neighbor's, which simply pushes the problem of induction back to the level of sameness of human constitution or behavior, etc.1 The problem of induction then becomes, Where to find the loaded dice if there are any? If there are none, successful inductive generalization is nothing short of miraculous, word which Hume in the context of religion denied. How ironic it should be that he opposed miracles in religion on the grounds that they are inconsistent" @default.
