Quine On The Problem Of Induction

The problem of induction is an important problem in the philosophy of science. Since Hume posed this question, how to solve this problem posed a challenge to the philosopher. Many philosophers, including Hume, made painstaking efforts to respond to this challenge from the perspective of various different positions. However, there is still no a convincing solution.This article mainly focuses on Quine's view of the problem of induction. First, taking former philosophers'solutions of justifications of induction as the starting point, with the advance of the problem of induction and failure of justifications of induction, the paper reflects the problem of justifications of induction and takes a different approach to the problem, which provided a naturalistic solution for inductive rationality. It includes main content of holistic and naturalized epistemology. Quine considered that induction is the expectation that similar things will behave similarly; more precisely, we expect to see things in the full also show similar in other areas. It is a process of forming habits which is based on a priori criteria of perceptual similarity. The division of human innate subjective nature is the result of natural selection, because our practice has proven inductive rationality of induction. It is in this sense that the use of evolution to justify the induction theory can be fully explained.
