Abstract
This paper shows that two questions productively overlap: first, in virtue of what does an agent infer one hypothesis rather than another? Second, in virtue of what does an agent refer to one natural kind rather than another? Peter Lipton (2004) answers the first question by articulating the model of inference to the best explanation. Lipton's answer to the first question is appropriated as an answer to the second.
