2. The problem of induction is the philosophical question of whether the
inductive reasoning leads to knowledge. That is what is the justification
for either.
 1. Generalizing about the properties of a
class objects based on some number of
observations of particular instances of
that class.
 2. presupposing that a sequence of
events in the future will occur as it
always has in the past.

3. “Ihave found that such an
object has always been
attended with such an effect,
and I forsee that other objects,
which are in appearance ,
similar, will be attended with
similar effects.”

4. Wat do you see?

5. Causal relations
 “Causal relations are found not by
reason, but by induction. This is
because for any cause, multiple
effects are conceivable, and the
actual effect cannot be determined by
reasoning about the cause;
instead, one must observe
occurrences of the causal relation to
discover that it holds”

6. Justification of induction
 Ifall matters of fact are based
on causal relations, and all
causal relations are found by
induction, then induction must
be shown to be valid
somehow

7. But!
 Asinduction is based on an
assumption of the connection
and not reason, it cannot itself
explain the connection
