Description

Book Synopsis
Everyone knows that they are sometimes justified in making inductive inferences. The philosophical `problem of justifying' induction is therefore entirely imaginary. This book analyses the various literary devices which have enabled philosophers to conjure this pseudo-problem into existence.

Trade Review
"...A very provocative work. Stove's lively polemics will stimulate much thought, and some irritation, by attacking cherished beliefs of almost every professional philosopher...Stove's arguments are clearly expressed and presuppose minimal technical knowledge, although they are subtle enough to keep philosophers busy trying to refute them..." CHOICE, November 1986
