Practical Induction - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Millgram (philosophy, Princeton U.) dissents from the "instrumentalism" point of view held by most philosophers, defending "practical induction" as a method of reasoning from experience similar to theoretical induction. It sounds boring and obvious to say that experience is part of a process that helps us decide what we want. Millgram is the first to admit to this in his introduction, but his eloquent and cozy narration develops an argument that is not only compelling but also extends into the cognitive capacity for pain, pleasure, and love, bringing humanity into a potentially dry treatise on practical reasoning.
