II 262
Induction/Evidence/logic/Nozick: inductive logic is twofold relative. - 1. probability is relative to the evidence - 2. there must be a principle of total evidence, which is applied to the probability statements.
>Principles, >Evidence, >Method, >Logic.
Some authors: Solution: an evidence is proof of what he says.
>Explanation, >Causal explanation.
NozickVs: plenty of evidence is not explanatory. - E.g. lightning/Thunder are not mutually explanatory. - E.g. a symptom makes others more probable, but they do not explain each other.
>Symptoms, >Probability.
Maybe there are but very general statistical relations between statements - e.g. principles of the uniformity of nature.
>Regularity.
