A Demonstration of the Incompleteness of Calculi of Inductive Inference
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 70 (4):1119-1144 (2019)
Abstract
A complete calculus of inductive inference captures the totality of facts about inductive support within some domain of propositions as relations or theorems within the calculus. It is demonstrated that there can be no complete, non-trivial calculus of inductive inference.Author's Profile
