Hypothesis [as a form of reasoning]
1866 \| W 1:428 These differences between these two scientific inferences are so great that it seems to me essential to a right understanding of the subject that we should recognize two kinds of scientific reasoning. Induction and Hypothesis. [—] Hypothesis alone affords us any knowledge of causes and forces, and enables us to see the why of things. [—] So that we have Deduction Induction and Hypothesis as three coördinate classes of reasoning.	preview

Induction

Induction is the process by which we find the general characters of classes and establish natural classifications. [—] So that we have Deduction Induction and Hypothesis as three coördinate classes of reasoning.	preview
