Even in this case therefore, though the number of particulars is limited, the Induction was not made by a simple enumeration of all the particulars.
I venture to say further, that it is plain, that Aristotle did not regard Induction as the result of simple enumeration.
But the evident proof that Aristotle does not contemplate in this chapter an Induction by simple enumeration, is the contrast in which he places Induction and Syllogism.
Assuredly, if induction by simple enumeration were an invalid process, no process grounded on it could be valid; just as no reliance could be placed on telescopes, if we could not trust our eyes.
Now the precariousness of the method of simple enumeration is in an inverse ratio to the largeness of the generalization.
Popular notions are usually founded on induction by simple enumeration; in science it carries us but a little way.
The possibility of having it, is the foundation on which we shall see hereafter that induction by simple enumeration may in some remarkable cases amount practically to proof.
As regards its fallibility, he asserts that "the precariousness of the method of simple enumeration is in an inverse ratio to the largeness of the generalisation.
Thus, if simple enumeration is to be rendered valid, it must not be stated as Mill states it.
According to Mill, the law of causation is proved by an admittedly fallible process called "induction by simple enumeration.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "simple enumeration" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
