520    "After its publication in 1967, The Foundations of 
       Scientific Inference taught a generation of students and 
       researchers about the problem of induction, the 
       interpretation of probability, and confirmation theroy, 
       Fifty years later, Wesley C. Salmon's book remains one of 
       the clearest introductions to these fundamental problems 
       in the philosophy of science. With this work, Salmon 
       presented a coherent vision of the nature of scientific 
       reasoning, explored the philosophical underpinnings of 
       scientific investigation, and introduced readers to key 
       movements in epistemology and to leading philosophers of 
       the twentieth century, developing his own distinctive 
       views on topics that are still of central importance 
       today. This anniversary edition features an introduction 
       by Christopher Hitchcock, which examines the book's 
       origins, influences, and major themes, its impact and 
       enduring effects, and the disputes it raised, and revisits
       Salmon's ideas for a new audience of philosophers, 
       historians, scientists, and students."|c--back cover.
