 William Whewell found the "inductive sciences" not so simple, but, amid the climate of esteem for inductivism, described "superinduction".Whewell proposed recognition of "the peculiar import of the term "Induction"", as "there is some Conception "superinduced" upon the facts", that is, "the Invention of a new Conception in every inductive inference".Rarely spotted by Whewell's predecessors, such mental inventions rapidly evade notice.
