D. McEvoy:
"Fortunately, P offers a way out of from this kind of philosophising
about induction."
-- vis-à-vis Strawson (who credits "Mr. H. P. Grice", in the foreword,
as the only person from whom he "never ceased to learn about logic" --
Grice was Strawson´s logic tutor at St. John´s), "Introduction to
logical theory".
Of course, for the Brits, there´s no such thing as deductive logic
simpliciter. Even Mill´s treatise is meant to cover, as it should,
"logic, deductive and inductive". Surely there is a common standard.
In discussing Kneale´s "Induction" papers, Grice analysed the fact that
inductive logic is metaphysically more complex than deductive logic. It
requires second-order proprieties (e.g. "fragile") and second-order
properties about events that can be pretty complex.
And so on.
Cheers,
Speranza
