Summary/Abstract: Induction is a major challenge for logical theory in its quest to build a comprehensive theory of inference. In the contest between deduction and induction for awarding and deriving the crown of the theory of reasoning, induction more often gives up first place. But here we must trust John St. Mill, who declares induction to be the fundamental and absolutely prime question of the “Science of Logic”. The article will follow the way Mill defines induction and how is the logical axiom of inductive inference formulated by him on this basis. For the general construction of induction, however, Hegel offers a structure that will take us even further in entering into the inner mechanism of induction as well as towards the schematization of the logical path to the derivation of the inductive conclusion.
