Induction

Induction is the inference by reasoning from particular to the general (here, the "general" is akin to the universal, as it was in deduction at the very beginning.)

Aristotle critiques Plato by acknowledging that beings in the world have the reality by their own right. He emphasizes upon the wealth of differences in particularities of the world. For him inductive method should be used in ethics i.e. one "must begin with what is known" and that "fact is the starting point" and proceed from this to more comprehensive statements and awareness of the fundamental principles, or good.
