 - Inductive reasoning, also called recursive logic or induction logic, is an inference that constructs or evaluates inductive theory. It is usually interpreted as a generalized inference form based on individual case. In this sense, it is often in contrast to deductive reasoning. However, philosophically, the definition is subtle than a simple advance from a particular / individual instance to wider generalization. On the contrary, the premise of the inductive logical argument shows a certain level of support (inductive probability) of the conclusion, but it does not mean it, that is, they mean the truth but do not guarantee the truth. In this way it is possible to transition from generalization to individual instances.

Induction refers to "general rule or principle inference method from observed specific conditions" (Flew 171). The method of induction reasoning can be regarded as the main means to prove the relationship between evidence and specific hypothesis (Norton 2). In this sense, induction processes will occur as long as evidence supports the hypothesis and can not determine its speculative certainty in this process. It is this expression of the induction method that enables the first mystery. Next is the main argument of the above mystery suggested by David Hume.

The development of induction was always the secret of mystery expression and solution. In the early stages of its development, it was the secret of an old recursive mystery discovered by Hume. But after the previous mystery was solved, Nielsen Goodman discovered a new inductive mystery. Instead, this paper chooses to use the development of induction as the definition of Hume 's and Goodman' s induction concept. Induction refers to "general rule or principle inference method from observed specific conditions" (Flew 171). The method of induction reasoning can be regarded as the main means to prove the relationship between evidence and concrete hypothesis (Norton 2)
