Problem of Induction

The Problem of Induction questions whether our past experiences reliably predict future events. For example, just because the sun has risen every day, we assume it will rise again tomorrow. However, there's no logical guarantee that past patterns will continue; new situations might arise that contradict previous patterns. This raises doubts about our ability to justify our beliefs based solely on experience, highlighting a fundamental uncertainty in how we infer general laws from specific observations.
