Description	Fact, Fiction, and Forecast is a book by Nelson Goodman in which he explores some problems regarding scientific law and counterfactual conditionals and presents his New Riddle of Induction. Hilary Putnam described the book as "one of the few books that every serious student of philosophy in our time has to have read."Goodman, Nelson. Fact, Fiction, and Forecast (Fourth Edition).

Fact, Fiction, and Forecast (Fourth Edition). Harvard University Press, 1983, back cover.
