 Thus Whewell’s philosophy of science cannot be described as the hypothetico-deductive view. It is an inductive method; yet it clearly differs from the more narrow inductivism of Mill. Whewell’s view of induction has the advantage over Mill’s of allowing the inference to unobservable properties and entities, and for this reason is a more accurate view of how science works. (For more detailed arguments against reading Whewell as a hypothetico-deductivist, see Snyder 2006; Snyder 2008; McCaskey 2014).
