Zabarala on Induction

Zabarala thinks induction is only a generalization of some obvious fact and fails to reveal the essential natures of things. He expects only modest gains from a strictly inductive investigation. For this reason, Zabarala insists that medicine does not really belong to natural philosophy. In coming episodes, we'll be exploring both of the disciplines just mentioned, mathematics and medicine. Dag Nicholas Hase will tell us all about the reception of Arabic philosophy in Renaissance Italy.
