poston foundationalism archived 26 september 2019 at the wayback machine b theories of proper inference iii liberal inductivism internet encyclopedia of philosophy 10 jun 2010 last updated strict inductivism is motivated by the thought that we have some kind of inferential knowledge of the world that cannot be accommodated by deductive inference from epistemically basic beliefs a fairly recent debate has arisen over the merits of strict inductivism some philosophers have argued that there are other forms of nondeductive inference that do not fit the model of enumerative induction c s peirce describes a form of inference called abduction or inference to the best explanation this form of inference appeals to explanatory considerations to justify belief one infers for example that two students copied answers from a third because this is the best explanation of the available data they each make the same mistakes and the two sat in view of the third alternatively in a more theoretical context one infers that there are very small unobservable particles because this is the best explanation of brownian motion let us call liberal inductivism any view that accepts the legitimacy of a form of inference to the best explanation that is distinct from enumerative induction for a defense of liberal inductivism see gilbert harman s classic 1965 paper harman defends a strong version of liberal inductivism according to which enumerative induction is just a disguised form of inference to the best explanation david andrews keynes and the british humanist tradition the

2009 zuzana parusniková robert s cohen eds p 111 archived 9 may 2022 at the wayback machine i argued earlier that there are some exceptions to popper s claim that rules of inductive inference do not exist however these exceptions are relatively rare they occur for example in the machine learning programs of ai for the vast bulk of human science both past and present rules of inductive inference do not exist for such science popper s model of conjectures which are freely invented and then tested out seems to be more accurate than any model based on inductive inferences admittedly there is talk nowadays in the context of science carried out by humans of inference to the best explanation or abductive inference but such so called inferences are not at all inferences based on precisely formulated rules like the deductive rules of inference those who talk of inference to the best explanation or abductive inference for example never formulate any precise rules according to which these so called inferences take place in reality the inferences which they describe in their examples involve conjectures thought up by human ingenuity and creativity and by no means inferred in any
