Abstract

I explain how Karl Popper resolved the problem of induc-tion but not the pragmatic problem of induction. I show that Pop-per's proposed solution to the pragmatic problem of induction is in-consistent with his solution to the problem of induction. I explain how Popper's falsificationist epistemology can solve the pragmatic problem of induction in the same negative way that it solves the problem of induction.
