 Schurz also claims that this a priori justification of wMI, together with the contingent fact that inductive methods have so far been much more successful than non-inductive methods, gives rise to an a posteriori non-circular justification of induction. Since wMI will achieve in the long run the maximal success rate of the available prediction methods, it is reasonable to use it. But as a matter of fact, object-inductive prediction methods have been more successful than non-inductive methods so far. Therefore Schurz says “it is meta-inductively justified to favor object-inductivistic strategies in the future” (Schurz 2019: 85). This justification, he claims, is not circular because meta-induction has an a priori independent justification. The idea is that since it is a priori justified to use wMI, it is also a priori justified to use the maximally successful method at the object level. Since it turns out that that the maximally successful method is object-induction, then we have a non-circular a posteriori argument that it is reasonable to use object-induction.
