A suspicious feature of the popper/miller argument
Philosophy of Science 57 (3):535-536 (1990)
Abstract
The form of argument used by Popper and Miller to attack the concept of probabilistic induction is applied to the slightly different situation in which some evidence undermines a hypothesis. The result is seemingly absurd, thus bringing the form of argument under suspicion.Author's Profile
