Term:

Induction

Quote:

Induction is the highest and most typical form of reasoning. In my essay of 1883, I only recognized two closely allied logical forms of pure induction, one of which is undoubtedly the highest. I have since discovered eight other forms which include those almost exclusively used by reasoners who are not adepts in logic.
