Problem of Induction

Delve into the depths of philosophical inquiry with our latest video, "Exploring the Problem of Induction: Unraveling the Mystery of Reasoning." In this thought-provoking exploration, we embark on a journey to unravel one of the most enduring puzzles in philosophy – the Problem of Induction.

Join us as we navigate through the intricate landscape of reasoning and knowledge, examining the foundations of induction and its profound implications for our understanding of the world. From its origins in the philosophical musings of David Hume to its contemporary relevance in the realm of science and rationality, we delve deep into the heart of this enigmatic dilemma.

Through engaging visuals and clear, accessible explanations, we shed light on the inherent uncertainty of induction, challenging traditional notions of knowledge and rationality. As we confront the limitations of our reasoning abilities, we are compelled to question the reliability of scientific conclusions and the very nature of our beliefs about the world.

But amidst the uncertainty lies an opportunity for reflection and introspection. By grappling with the Problem of Induction, we are invited to embrace humility, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human understanding.

So, join us on this intellectual voyage as we unravel the mystery of reasoning and confront the fundamental questions that shape our understanding of reality. Don't miss out on this captivating exploration of one of philosophy's most enduring conundrums – the Problem of Induction.

Physicists here. In the believing science part: yes, science as a social phenomenon is just educated guesses (not counting math). That is why scientific knowledge evolves.


This is what we call model construction, Newton (based on observations) thought of a model of the world where gravity was a force that acted everywhere on every that had mass. Later, Einstein based on observations that were inconsistent with the Newtonian model, he thought of a new model that better predicted what the observations showed. That is why we believe in Einstein's model now. As Newton's, Einstein's is incomplete and in the future we will probably get a better understanding of the universe, and then we will believe in that model.


But it is just that, educated guesses, and the scientific process is educating ourselves to make better guesses. Not one scientific model is "TRUE" in the Aristotelian way, but they are useful, in predicting if a bridge will fall, if the current in the wire will make my computer run, but it's just that, useful.

How do you know that the next step you take, you're not just going to fall through the earth? How do you know the next time you eat, it will nourish you? How do you know the next time you poo, it will stink?
