Two psychologists, a computer scientist, and a philosopher have collaborated to present a framework for understanding processes of inductive reasoning and learning in organisms and machines. Theirs is the first major effort to bring the ideas of several disciplines to bear on a subject that has been a topic of investigation since the time of Socrates. The result is an integrated account that treats problem solving and induction in terms of rule-based mental models. Induction is included in the Computational Models of Cognition and Perception Series. A Bradford Book.

Review:

" A broad, sweeping inquiry of what concepts are, what learning is, and how it can take place at all.... "Induction" is a deep synthesis of epistemology, evolution and computation. This path-breaking treatise will undoubtedly come to be recognized as a major step toward an interdisciplinary explanation of mentality" -- Douglas Hofstadter
