The Non-Existence of Probabilistic Inductive Support

Karl Raimund Popper · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 1991

Using a minimum of propositional logic and of the elementary calculus of probability (see the Appendix), David Miller and I (Popper and Miller, 1983) published a very short paper in which we proved that probabilistic support in the sense of the calculus of probability can never be inductive support . As some knowledgeable people remained unconvinced, I am here restating our case, adding some further proofs. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
