Abstract
Philosophy is enlightening and delightful. It is enlightening because it brings unfamiliar points and concepts out of the darkroom of the mind and onto the stage. But there are still hidden corners that need to be illuminated. This aspect of philosophy is delightful. There are concepts in philosophy that have no end point. In order to get closer to the end point, philosophy branched out and through this, philosophy of science emerged. The same thing happened to philosophy of science and philosophy of statistics emerged. Statistics as an inductive science is rooted in the philosophical concept of induction. Induction is one of the philosophical issues full of controversy. The nature of induction is not such that it can be abandoned, nor is it such that philosophy no longer addresses it. In this article, while reviewing the stages of the formation of induction and mentioning a brief history of it and mentioning some of its ups and downs, we will discuss the most important forms of induction, which is the "problem of induction".
