摘要
"归纳推理是否能够得到必然性结论"是关于归纳的哲学反思的一个重要方面,休谟对归纳合理性的诘难极富挑战性。然而,古德曼认为,休谟所采用的联想主义的心理学方法已经实现了对归纳的辩护。归纳问题不是辩护或解证问题,而是确证定义本身,即区分可确证假说与非可确证假说的问题。古德曼将这个问题称为"新归纳之谜"。
Whether the inductive reasoning can get necessary conclusion is an important aspect of philosophical reflection on induction,Hume＇s query on the validity of induction is challenging.However,Goodman supposes that the problem of justifying induction has been dissolved in Hume＇s method of associationism psychology.The problem of induction is not justification or demonstration,but the self-definition of confirmation,which is to look for a way of distinguishing lawlike from accidental statement.It is this problem that Goodman calls the new riddle of induction.
