Peirce on Inference: Validity, Strength, and the Community of Inquirers
Atkins, Richard Kenneth (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Boston College)
Inference is at the core of all inquiry, whether philosophical or scientific. If we hope to ascertain what is true, we must follow sound procedures of inquiry. The American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), who was also a leading scientist of his age, spent his life reflecting on what these procedures are, whether they are valid, and how we can make our inferences stronger. Peirce on Inference presents a comprehensive account of Peirce'slifelong reflections on these topics, including how Peirce responds to various objections to the validity of inferences.
