「純粋な帰納などない」

K. Popper, The Myth of the Framework: In Defence of Science and Rationality (Routledge, 1995) は次ように言う

We do not discover new facts or new effects by copying them, or by inferring them inductively from observation, or by any other method of instruction by the environment. We use, rather, the method of trial and the elimination of error. As Ernst Gombrich ( http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/gombric.htm ) says, `making comes before matching': the active production of a new trial structure comes before its exposure to eliminating tests.

しかし,``making''の部分は進化賜であるわれわれ脳から来るである,つまり,内化された自然法則刻印された脳から来るだ.Popperのように単純に能動的だと思うはあさはかである.
