Foundations of Inductive Logic

Foundations of Inductive Logic by Roy Forbes Harrod is a comprehensive guide to the principles and methods of inductive reasoning. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of inductive logic. Part one covers the basic concepts of inductive reasoning, including the nature of induction, the role of probability, and the principles of statistical inference. Part two focuses on the application of inductive reasoning to scientific and social research, including the design and analysis of experiments, the testing of hypotheses, and the evaluation of evidence. Part three examines the philosophical and theoretical foundations of inductive logic, including the relationship between induction and deduction, the nature of causation, and the role of probability in scientific explanation. Throughout the book, Harrod provides clear and concise explanations of complex concepts, making it an ideal resource for students and researchers in philosophy, science, and social science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
