Inference is at the core of all inquiry, whether philosophical or scientific. If we hope to ascertain what is true, we must follow sound procedures of inquiry. The American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914), who was also a leading scientist of his age, spent his life reflecting on what these procedures are, whether they are valid, and how we can make our inferences stronger. 'Peirce on Inference' presents a comprehensive account of Peirce's lifelong reflections on these topics, including how Peirce responds to various objections to the validity of inferences.
