The Inductive grounding of Deductive Systems!

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy says that: "Reichenbach does not argue that induction is a sound method; his account is rather ...[a] vindication: that if any rule will lead to positing the correct probability, the inductive rule will do this, and it is, furthermore, the simplest rule that is successful in this sense."

J. Alberto Coffa circa 1973 from here

 The conclusions of inductions are not asserted, they are posited. “A posit is a statement with which we deal as true, though the truth value is unknown” (TOP, 373)

The flow of reasoning seems to be similar to Von Mises, and Mach, i.e. a Kantian, in that first observe nature empirically and from there derive mathematical concepts and axioms. In this way, even axioms are derived by induction and then, perhaps, generalizable by deduction.

Moreover, Moritz Schlick arrived to a similar conclusion, in that the 

"...the construction of a strict deductive science has only the significance of a game with symbols." GTK, 37 in Coffa, 176.

Russell, against Poincare, held the same view:

Geometric indefinables [i.e. components of axioms] are first given to us in acquaintance [i.e. intuition]. Coffa, 132

And also

Russell explained that the reasons we have for accepting a fomula as a truth of logic are "inductive". Coffa 124

which is a very bold assertion to make! Induction is at the base of Deduction, where the latter is customarily considered to be superior to the former!
