  • A. “The Problem of Induction” (essay)
    “The Problem of Induction” is a seminal essay by Karl Popper in which he challenges traditional justifications of inductive reasoning and advances his philosophy of falsificationism in the philosophy of science.
  • B. new riddle of induction
    The new riddle of induction is Nelson Goodman’s influential philosophical problem that challenges traditional accounts of inductive reasoning by introducing the notion of “grue” and questioning how we justify projecting certain predicates into the future.

    Hempel's paradox is a famous problem in the philosophy of science that challenges our intuitions about confirmation by showing how evidence seemingly unrelated to a hypothesis can still count as confirming it.
  • D. essays on probability and induction
    "Essays on Probability and Induction" is a collection of philosophical papers by Carl G. Hempel that explores the logical and methodological foundations of probabilistic reasoning and inductive inference in science.
  • E. Carnap's continuum of inductive methods
    Carnap's continuum of inductive methods is a family of formal Bayesian-style confirmation functions that systematically vary how evidence updates degrees of belief in logical probability theory.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
