Hume 5
Induction to Hume was a very unstable idea. He thinks the only way induction will work is if you can definately determine what the relavant data are. But how many times do we see that there are a multitude of factors. And thats not to mention that not all of the factors may arise all the time. So I think Hume was right on the money with these ideas. Its more likely that if one starts out with the general principle and then narrow down to the particular case. Deductive reasoning just seems to prove more stable in logical reasoning then inductive reasoning does.
