In order to see the generality of this argument, we have to note that the same problem also arises for deduction (FFF, §III.2). That deduction is in the same predicament is observed by Goodman and exploited for his solution of Hume’s problem of induction. Thus the upshot of Goodman’s understanding of Hume’s argument is that there can be no justification of our inferential practices, if such a justification requires a reason for their justifiedness. Accordingly, the old problem of induction, which requires such a justification of induction, is a pseudo-problem.
