They speak about Anthony's book 'Karl Popper: The Arguments of the Philosophers', and its central claim that: "Popper's attempt to dispense with induction is unsuccessful. We have found that inductive reasoning, removed from one part of the picture, crops up in another." *Induction (definition): "the doctrine of the primacy of repetitions" – Karl Popper Anthony O'Hear is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Buckingham, the former Head of the Department of Education, and the former Honorary Director of the Royal Institute of Philosophy.
