Limitations of Induction

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing induction as a means of forming beliefs. Induction has been and continues to be used in those areas that do not lend themselves to the requirements of deduction, particularly the requirement that something be experienced before it can be known. While useful, induction does have its limitations. It is not the best way to form beliefs, but there are times it is the only way. As exemplified by Einstein, it can provide blinders preventing further vision. We can use induction to form beliefs, but those beliefs need to be assessed for validity. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
