Abstract: | Inductive probability is the logical concept of probability in ordinary language. It is vague but it can be explicated by
defining a clear and precise concept that can serve some of the same purposes. This paper presents a general method for doing
such an explication and then a particular explication due to Carnap. Common criticisms of Carnap’s inductive logic are examined;
it is shown that most of them are spurious and the others are not fundamental. |
