According to David Hume, the concept of causation and probability are to be understood in terms of the concepts of similarity and repetition.

One corollary is that there is no legitimate basis for skepticism concerning the legitimacy of inductive inference. Another is that anti-realism about theoretical entities is misconceived.

Symbolic logic is a heap of bureaucratic protocols posing as a discipline. It doesn't clarify; it obfuscates. The reason is that greater resources of intellect and energy are required to use than are needed to solve the problems in question directly, which means that it is the very definition of mathematical failure.

According to W.V.O. Quine, no observational datum supports any given hypothesis more than it supports any other given hypothesis, our belief to the contrary being nothing more than a prejudice born of our irrational preferences for certain rules of inference over others. In this very short work, it is shown that Quine's thesis is false and that his argument for it is broken. A corollary is that Kuhn's relativism ("truth is paradigm-internal") is false.
