Arguing against David Hume and contemporary skeptics, he treats wide-ranging topics including Moore's paradox regarding logical self-contradiction, Wittgenstein-influenced views on the meaning of facts, the classic Problem of Induction, and consciousness-less (as in socio- and psychopaths).
He explains the logic of scientific discovery, including natural necessity and natural kinds, the SOC production of knowledge by a means of knowledge, objections of the account of natural necessity, and the problem of induction.
Perhaps Hume realized that any serious admission on his part that Bayes may be right in his epistemic method would cause others to disparage both Hume's own solution to the problem of induction, his empiricist ontology and even his dismissal of the possibility of miracles as well.
