Hume's Problem: Induction and the Justification of Belief
Howson, Colin (, London School of Economics)
Physical theory routinely predicts the values of observable magnitudes within very small ranges of error. The chance of this sort of predictive success without a true theory suggests that Hume's argument is flawed. Howson argues that there is no flaw and examines the implications of this disturbing conclusion.
