Non-Probabilistic Justification of Induction and Its Difficulties
Rong Li-w · Journal of South China Normal University · 2010
There are two theoretical models for justification of induction,that is,probabilistic justification and non-probabilistic justification.According to our analysis,probabilistic justification is justified on the basis of mathematical statistics,but it doesn't determine sufficiently the validity of justification of induction.On the other hand,as supplement of probabilistic justification,non-probabilistic justifications,such as Peirce 's so called self-correcting nature of induction and Lewis's a Priori analytical justification of induction,do not serve as the genuine supplement of probabilistic justification.
