About this episode

A deep dive into the problem of induction: can past patterns justify predictions about the future? We trace Hume’s skepticism, Goodman’s grue, Kantian a priori claims, Bayesian ideas, and pragmatic defenses like Reichenbach’s. An accessible tour of how philosophers have tried to ground—or challenge—the way we infer what comes next.
