Which one among the following is a presupposition in inductive reasoning? Correct Answer Uniformity of nature

Inductive Reasoning:

  1. The inductive method is an extremely effective process for obtaining general, observation-based information about the world.
  2. In fact, the inductive method--whether guided in classrooms or occurring in non-academic settings--is one of the most common and natural forms of making logical assumptions about what we observe.
  3. Inductive reasoning allows us to gather ideas about an infinite number of events or phenomena in real life. Informally, we sometimes call this a "bottom-up" approach.
  4. In inductive research, we begin with specific observations and measures, begin to detect patterns and regularities, formulate some tentative hypotheses that we can explore, and finally end up developing some general conclusions or theories.

  1. Presupposing that a sequence of events in the future will occur as it always has in the past is known as the Uniformity of nature.
  2. For Example- If there are black clouds in the sky, it will lead to heavy rain and it will cause floods.
  3. Hence, it shows the uniformity of the supposition of a precious event where observation drives the conclusion.

Hence, we conclude that the Uniformity of nature is a presupposition in inductive reasoning.
