Traduction includes reasoning from particular to particular or from general to general. Perfect induction is in reality a form of traduction.
Induction, though the most useful form of inference, is the most untrustworthy; whereas traduction is just the reverse of this.
(2) Distinguish by definition and illustration between inductive and deductive reasoning.
(3) Explain the “inductive hazard” and show its use to man.
(4) “For twenty centuries Aristotle’s Deductive Logic was the logician’s bible.” Explain this.
(5) Show that induction and deduction are contiguous processes.
(6) Distinguish between induction as a mode of inference and induction as a method.
(7) State and explain the law of universal causation. Illustrate fully.
(8) Make evident that a cause may involve many antecedents.
(9) State and explain by illustration the law of uniformity of nature.
(10) Verify by illustration the notion that the “fact of causation” conditions all induction.
(11) Which of the two laws is empirical, “causation” or “uniformity”? Why?
(12) Show that induction is a form of thinking.
(13) Why should the law of uniformity of nature convince man that nature is honest? Illustrate.
(14) Show that the law of universal causation stirs the spirit of discovery.
(15) Name and illustrate the three forms of induction.
(16) Why is it that the tendencies of the investigator often determine the inductive form which he adopts?
(17) Explain by illustration the three-fold outcome of induction by simple enumeration.
(18) Selecting some class room experience, illustrate analogy by example or type.
(19) Define and exemplify types as used in logic.
(20) Remark upon the errors incident to analogy.
(21) Summarize the advantages which induction by analogy offers.
(22) State and exemplify the requirements of true analogies.
(23) Indicate the superiority of induction by analysis over the other two forms. Illustrate.
(24) Define and illustrate perfect induction.
(25) Under what circumstances is perfect induction justified?
(27) Indicate the various forms of traduction.
