In the Socratic conception of Induction we saw little more than Analogical Reasoning; but in this Aristotelian con ception we see the Collection of Instances, and the generalization from those Instances which Science claims as part of its Method. Nor was this a random guess of the old Stagirite s : it was the logical deduction from his premises respecting knowledge. Hear him again : " Experience furnishes the principles of every science. Thus Astronomy is grounded on observation ; for, if we we...re pro perly to observe the celestial phenomena, we might demonstrate the laivs which regulate them. The same applies to other sci ences. If we omit nothing that observation can afford us respect ing phenomena, we could easily furnish the demonstration of all that admits of being demonstrated, and illustrate that which is not susceptible of demonstration. "! And, in another place, when abandoned in his investigation by phenomena, he will not hazard an assertion. " We must wait, " he says, " for further phenomena, since phenomena are more to be trusted than the conclusion of reason.
