As induction is a way to describe what leads something, when applied to inference it simply means that you gather information and draw conclusions from the observation.
Since logical types are related to reasoning, you may already be familiar with inductive words. Inductive reasoning is a way to understand things by making specific observations and then leads to broad conclusions based on these observations. For example, you eat urticaria every time you eat with buckwheat flour, but if you can eat other kinds of powder well, you can use inductive reasoning to get urticaria with buckwheat flour.
- 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.
