 There are a number of approaches which effectively, if not explicitly, take issue with  premise P8  and argue that providing a chain of reasoning from the premises to the conclusion is not a necessary condition for justification of an inductive inference. According to this type of approach, one may admit that Hume has shown that inductive inferences are not justified in the sense that we have reasons to think their conclusions true, but still think that weaker kinds of justification of induction are possible  (section 5).  Finally, there are some philosophers who do accept the skeptical conclusion  C5  and attempt to accommodate it. For example, there have been attempts to argue that inductive inference is not as central to scientific inquiry as is often thought  (section 6).
