A Must Have Book For Every Philosophy Student

Nelson Goodman’s (1906-1998) argument that every inductive basis supports an infinite number of incompatible predictions: for instance, “all emeralds are green” versus “allemeralds are grue,” where grue means green now, but blue later. Any justification of induction must, therefore, also specify which properties are “projectable” to avoid such problems.
