Complete Induction

Famous quotes containing the words complete and/or induction:

    We place no particular value upon the possession of a virtue until we detect its complete absence in our adversary.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.
    Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
