In the last few decades, however, the use of logic and semantics, probability calculus, statistical methods, and decision-theoretic concepts in the reconstruction of in ductive inference has revealed some important technical respects in which inductive justification can be local: the choice of a language, with its syntactic and semantic features, the relativity of probabilistic evalua tions to an initial body of evidence or background knowledge and to an agent‘s utilities and preferences, etc. Some paradoxes and difficulties encountered by purely formal accounts of inductive justification, the erosion of the once dominant empiricist position, which most approaches to induction took for granted, and the increasing challenge of noninduc tivist epistemolgies have underscored the need of accounting for the methodological problems of applying ind | | 出版日期 | Book 1976 | | 关键词 | David Hume; bibliography; decision theory; knowledge; subject | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-9799-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-011-9801-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-9799-1Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | | issn_series | 0166-6991 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1976 |
