This paper considers Norton’s Material Theory of Induction. The material theory aims inter alia to neutralize Hume’s Problem of Induction. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the material theory's capacity to achieve this end. After pulling apart two versions of the theory, I argue that neither version satisfactorily neutralizes the problem.

两个诺顿的故事

本文考虑了诺顿的归纳材料理论。物质理论的目的尤其是消除休ume的归纳问题。本文的目的是评估材料理论实现这一目标的能力。在将理论的两个版本分开之后，我认为这两个版本都不能令人满意地消除该问题。
