 Nearing 1840, William Whewell, in England, deemed the inductive sciences not so simple, after all, and argued for recognition of "superinduction", an explanatory scope or principle invented by the mind to unite facts, but not present "in" the facts.John Stuart Mill rejected Whewell's hypotheticodeductivism as science's method.Yet Whewell believed it to sometimes, upon the evidence, potentially including unlikely signs, including consilience, render scientific theories that are probably true metaphysically.
