We’re discussing John Stuart Mill’s A System of Logic (1843), specifically from Book III, “Of Induction,” ch. 8, “Of the Four Methods of Experimental Inquiry.” What is induction, and why is it part of logic? Science doesn’t just observe regularities, but tries to isolate what is connected with what through a combination of experiments and observations.
Read along with us, starting on p. 278, i.e. PDF p. 284.
