Racionalidad de la inducción como minimización entrópica

Journal Title: Scientia et Fides - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Rationality of induction as entropic minimization In favour of a fundamental aspect of the epistemology of Mariano Artigas –his commitment to the quest for truth on the part of the scientific theory– I argue about the rationality of the process of induction, both the induction of general laws from particular facts of experience and the inference of postulates from the experimental laws which form the empirical basis of the theory. This is argued by showing that we minimize the entropy of the information when making an induction, so that we just do what usually the reason does.
