Understand the Problem

The image contains a series of short-answer questions related to the philosophical concepts of induction and analogy. These questions explore different facets of inductive reasoning, including its types, essence, relationship to truth, and its connection to deduction and analogical arguments.

Answer

(a) Two: complete and incomplete induction. (b) Generalizing from particulars. (c) By relevant similarities and differences. (d) General real proposition. (e) Several, e.g., analogy of proportion. (f) No, also material truth. (g) True. (h) Inductive leap. (i) Yes.

(a) There are two kinds of induction: complete induction and incomplete induction or Induction proper and Induction improperly so-called. (b) The essence of induction is to draw a general conclusion from particular instances. (c) The value of analogy can be determined by examining the relevant similarities and differences between the objects or systems being compared. (d) Scientific induction establishes a general real proposition. (e) There are several kinds of analogy, including analogy of proportion, analogy of attribution, and metaphorical analogy. The exact number and classification can vary depending on the philosophical framework. (f) No, induction is not concerned only with formal truth; it also deals with material truth. (g) Yes, it is true that induction supplies the universal premises of deduction. (h) The passage from the known to the unknown in induction is called an inductive leap. (i) Yes, the conclusion of an analogical argument is probable.

More Information

Induction is a method of reasoning that moves from specific observations to general conclusions. Analogy, on the other hand, relies on comparing similarities between different things to draw conclusions.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse induction and deduction. Induction moves from specific to general, while deduction moves from general to specific. Also, remember that inductive conclusions are probable, not certain.
