Pagina 54 - Here, then, is a kind of pre-established harmony between the course of nature and the succession of our ideas; and though the powers and forces, by which the former is governed, be wholly unknown to us; yet our thoughts and conceptions have still, we find, gone on in the same train with the other works of nature.
Pagina 65 - Why is a single instance, in some cases, sufficient for a complete induction ; while in others, myriads of concurring instances, without a single exception known or presumed, go such a very little way towards establishing a universal proposition ? Whoever can answer this question, knows more of the philosophy of logic than the wisest of the ancients, and has solved the problem of induction.
Pagina 45 - It consists in ascribing the character of general truths to all propositions which are true in every instance that we happen to know of.
Pagina 53 - Induction is that operation of the mind by which we infer that what we know to be true in a particular case or cases, will be true in all cases which resemble the former in certain assignable respects. In other words, Induction is the process by which we conclude that what is true of certain individuals of a class is true of the whole class, or that what is true at certain times will be true in similar circumstances at all times.
Pagina 3 - But it is necessary to our using the word cause that we should believe not only that the antecedent always has been followed by the consequent, but that as long as the present constitution of things endures it always will be so.
Pagina 3 - ... things. The succession of day and night evidently is not necessary in this sense. It is conditional on the occurrence of other antecedents. That which will be followed by a given consequent when, and only when, some third circumstance also exists, is not the cause, even though no case should ever have occurred in which the phenomenon took place without it.
Pagina 4 - The cause, then, philosophically speaking, is the sum total of the conditions, positive and negative taken together; the whole of the contingencies of every description, which being realized, the consequent invariably follows.
Pagina 97 - Feuer versteht sie auch nicht, es ist so weit herunter gekommen, daß die Küchenjungen seine Natur erforscht haben, und nun muß es jedem Lump den Kohl gar machen. Nicht einmal die Sonne versteht sie, man hat ihr ihre Bahnen abgelauscht, und Schuster und Schneider messen nach ihrem Schatten die Zeit ab. Aber ich verstehe sie. Da lauern sie um mich herum und gucken in die Ritzen und Spalten meiner Seele hinein und suchen aus jedem Wort meines Mundes einen Dietrich für meine Herzenskammer zu schmieden.
Pagina 61 - A general proposition inductively obtained is only then proved to be true, when the instances on which it rests are such that if they have been correctly observed, the falsity of the generalization would be inconsistent with the constancy of causation ; with the universality of the fact that the phenomena of nature take place according to invariable laws of succession.* It is probable, therefore, that M.
Pagina 48 - My practice, you say, refutes my doubts. But you mistake the purport of my question. As an agent, I am quite satisfied in the point ; but as a philosopher, who has some share of curiosity, I will not say scepticism, I want to learn the foundation of this inference.
