Induction
Question
Happy holidays.
I listened to your lectures (on the site), “Faith, Doubt, and Certainty,” and I understood from you that induction is logically valid. Did I understand correctly?
Thank you
Answer
The term logical validity usually indicates that a conclusion follows necessarily from the premises. That exists only in deduction, not in analogy and not in induction. If you meant to ask whether one can rely on induction—certainly yes. But not with certainty.
