| Type of Publication: | Journal article |

| Author: | Spohn, Wolfgang |
| Year of publication: | 1981 |
| Published in: | Erkenntnis ; 16 (1981), 1. - ISSN 0165-0106 |
| DOI (citable link): | https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00219641 |
| Summary: |
The first part of the note makes some critical remarks on Niniluoto (1981) (in the same issue), arriving at the conclusion that the systems proposed by Niiniluoto fail to satisfy symmetry, positive instantial relevance, and the Reichenbach axiom, and are thus more defective than seems acceptable. As I try to show in the second constructive part, positive instantial relevance and the Reichenbach axiom may be regained for analogical inference. The note closes with some general skeptical remarks to the effect that by trying to accommodate analogy considerations inductive logic regresses to subjectivism.
