"So the position is this. Hume points out that our inductive inferences rest on the uniformity of nature assumption. But we cannot prove that uniformity of nature is true, and we cannot produce empirical evidence for its truth without begging the question. So our inductive inferences rest on an assumption about the world for which we have no good grounds. Hume concludes that our confidence in induction is just blind faith - it admits of no rational justification whatever."
