Fact, Fiction, and Forecast, Fourth Edition

Nelson Goodman

Hilary Putnam

    Quire possibly the best book by a philosopher in the last twenty years. It changed, probably permanently, the way we think about the problem of induction, and hence about a constellation of related problems like learning and the nature of rational decision. This is the work of contemporary philosophy that I would most like to hove written.
