Hempel's Paradox
The raven paradox, also known as Hempel's paradox, Hempel's ravens or, rarely, the paradox of indoor ornithology, is a paradox arising from the question of what constitutes evidence for the truth of a statement. Observing objects that are neither black nor ravens may formally increase the likelihood that all ravens are black even though, intuitively, these observations are unrelated. This problem was proposed by the logician Carl Gustav Hempel in the 1940s to illustrate a contradiction between inductive logic and intuition. Paradox Hempel describes the paradox in terms of the hypothesis: : (1) ''All ravens are black''. In the form of an implication, this can be expressed as: ''If something is a raven, then it is black.'' Via contraposition, this statement is equivalent to: : (2) ''If something is not black, then it is not a raven.'' In all circumstances where (2) is true, (1) is also true—and likewise, in all circumstances where (2) is false (i.e., if a world is imagined ...
