The idea that reason can justify induction was §famously criticized by David Hume. Hume concluded §that there is no rational justification for §inductive inferences and hence, no rational §justification for most of our daily beliefs. Many §philosophers attempted to solve Hume's problem with §no success. Bertrand Russell commented regarding §Hume's problem: "[if we cannot justify induction] we §have no reason to expect the sun to rise tomorrow, §to expect bread to be more nourishing than a stone, §or to expect that if we throw ourselves off the roof §we shall fall."§The New Riddle of Induction was introduced by Nelson §Goodman in his book Fact, Fiction and Forecast, §published in 1954. Goodman's problem raised some §serious doubts about our ability even to describe §inductive principles. §In this Book Rami Israel is attempting to solve Both §Hume's and Goodman's philosophical problems by §introducing a new approach to the subject and by §drawing a new picture of our inductive practices.
