Abstract
The importance of inductive systematization (broadly understood) has grown considerably since the adoption of probabilistic techniques within such sciences as biology, meteorology, and the social sciences. Only in recent years have philosophers become interested in the details of the problems of inductive explanation and systematization. However, the role of theories and theoretical concepts within the inductive tasks of science has hardly been discussed at all.
