Comparison of the views of Martyr Sadr andSroush about the Induction

Abstract

Induction is the issue about which many philosophers have discussed. The main question was raised in quest for how it is possible to constitute a theory or a hypothesis just by assembling some extensions. Philosophers of science have indicated different speculations on the theme in view of empiricism, arithmetic, contingencies and... Martyr Sadr, in his book "Al ‘Asases Al Manteqeiya Le Al Isteqra", not only has criticized the western philosophers, but suggested a new theory, on the basis of which inductive demonstration has been analyzed into two stages of subjective production and essential production; and moreover, he has distinguished between essence logical certitude and subjective logical one. Additionally, by making use of collective knowledge in principles in Islamic jurisprudence, he justified certitude based on inductive demonstration.
