%X Recently we proposed ¡°quantum language¡± (or, ¡°the linguistic Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics¡±, ¡°measurement theory¡±) as the language of science. This theory asserts the probabilistic interpretation of science (=the linguistic quantum mechanical worldview), which is a kind of mathematical generalization of Born¡¯s probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we consider the most fundamental problems in philosophy of science such as Hempel¡¯s raven paradox, Hume¡¯s problem of induction, Goodman¡¯s grue paradox, Peirce¡¯s abduction, flagpole problem, which are closely related to measurement. We believe that these problems can never be solved without the basic theory of science with axioms. Since our worldview (=quantum language) has the axiom concerning measurement, these problems can be solved easily. Thus we believe that quantum language is the central theory in philosophy of science. Hence there is a reason to assert that quantum language gives the mathematical foundations to science.
