While preparing for my exams , I came across an interesting topic where Hume challenged Science by criticizing Induction ( A form of Logic ) .
According to him , " Are we justified in reasoning from repeated instances of which we have experience to other instances ( Conclusions ) of which we have no experience . "
Through this he criticized Methods adopted by various Sciences , Sociology and other fields . Though he failed to explain this phenomena i.e leap from observable to un-observable or unobserved but he labelled this practice of ours as " Mental Habit " or " Animal instinct " .
What do you think ?
Experience can vouch for the conclusion but not always .
