Abstract | In Indian philosophy the problem of induction arose as a difficulty in justifying the relation of universal concomitance ("vyapti") that is the basis of Indian inference forms. I examine four Indian responses to the problem:viz. The skeptical Carvaka response,the Naiyayika appeal to "samanyalaksana" perception,the Advaitin use of "abadhitva",and the twofold Buddhist reply. I conclude that the second Buddhist reply strikingly resembles certain modern western proposals for "dissolving" the problem of induction. |
