Lewis’s excerpt on the law of human nature does demonstrate inductive reasoning through his argument; I say this because of my own observations and inductive analysis.

Inductive reasoning is when a general conclusion is drawn based off observations‚ and deductive reasoning is when specific conclusion is drawn based on general concepts (Griffith 269-270).

THE TYPES OF ARGUMENTS Normally we classify all arguments into one of two types: deductive and inductive. Deductive arguments are those meant to work because of their pattern alone‚ so that if the premises are true the conclusion could not be false. All other arguments are considered to be inductive (or just non-deductive)‚ and these are meant to work because of the actual information in the premises so that if the premises are true the conclusion is not likely to be false. The difference is

What is the difference between hypothesis and law? A hypothesis is a statement‚ put forth on the basis of reasoning‚ about the things that are being studied. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on past scientific studies and previous experiments. It is not just a random guess. Observation is followed by a hypothesis. For example ‘Plants need sunlight to grow’ can be a hypothesis. It is formulated by taking into account all the observations that are know about the phenomenon under investigation
