The problem of induction, as it figures in the epistemology of science, was an important theme in Wesley Salmon’s work. Where do things stand with induction now, in the light of Bayesianism and other developments in recent philosophy? I will look at several themes here, including Goodman’s “new riddle,” total evidence requirements, and others, trying to put together an overall picture.
