Are There Types of Abduction? An Inquiry into a Comprehensive Classification of Types of Abduction

Flórez Restrepo, Jorge Alejandro

Pages: 3 –30

[This chapter enquires into the possibility of having types of abduction. In the two first sections, it explores the classification of types of abduction given by Peirce (although he paradoxically argued as well that abduction has no divisions) and those given by scholars, such as Thagard, Eco,...

Practical Abduction for Research on Human Practices: Enriching Rather Than Testing a Hypothesis

Paavola, Sami

Pages: 31 –48

[Following C. S. Peirce, abduction is often interpreted as a first phase of inquiry where a hypothesis is formulated requiring testing. I maintain, however, that a natural scientific ideal of testing is not the most suitable model for studies on human practices. Practical experimentation follows...

Abductive Spaces: Modeling Concept Framework Revision with Category Theory

Gangle, Rocco; Caterina, Gianluca; Tohmé, Fernando

Pages: 49 –73

[A formal model of abductive inference is provided in which abduction is conceived as expansive and contractive movements through a topological space of theoretical and practical commitments. A pair of presheaves over the (Heyting algebra) space of commitments corresponds to communities sharing...

Abduction as “Leading Away”

Magnani, Lorenzo

Pages: 77 –105

[In this article I will take advantage of the logical and cognitive studies I have illustrated in my recent book The Abductive Structure of Scientific Creativity. An Essay on the Ecology of Cognition (2017), in which the process of building new hypotheses is clarified thanks to my eco-cognitive...

Methodeutic of Abduction

Bellucci, Francesco; Pietarinen, Ahti-Veikko

Pages: 107 –127

[Peirce’s claims that methodeutic “concerns abduction alone” and that “pragmatism contributes to the security of reasoning but hardly to its uberty” are explained. They match as soon as a third claim is taken into account, namely that “pragmatism is the logic of abduction,” not of deduction or...

Peirce, Russell and Abductive Regression

Woods, John

Pages: 129 –145

[Below are reflections on Peirce’s conception of abductive methods and Russell’s conception of regressive methods. Along the way, it will be necessary to examine the marked differences between Russell and Frege on the ins and outs of logicism, from which latter the regressivist ideas first...

The Place of Logic in Creative Reason

Aliseda, Atocha

Pages: 149 –160

[In this text, I put forward the thesis that creativity and logic do not exclude each other. I depart from the characterization of a creative product as that which is novel and useful. I presuppose there is some kind of method for generating that new product, and in this respect, I rely on...

On Abducing the Axioms of Mathematics

Park, Woosuk

Pages: 161 –175

[How do we discover and justify axioms of mathematics? In view of the long history of the axiomatic method, it is rather embarrassing that we are still lacking a standard answer to this simple question. Since the axiom of choice is arguably one of the most frequently discussed famous axioms...

Abduction, Complex Inferences, and Emergent Heuristics of Scientific Inquiry

Shook, John R.

Pages: 177 –206

[The roles of abductive inference in dynamic heuristics allows scientific methodologies to test novel explanations for the world’s ways. Deliberate reasoning often follows abductive patterns, as well as patterns dominated by deduction and induction, but complex mixtures of these three modes of...
Available

Abduction, the Logic of Scientific Creativity, and Scientific Realism

Shook, John R.

Pages: 207 –227

[A fundamental question for philosophy of science asks, How is knowledge of the world created? A pragmatist approach is constructed to show how discovery and justification are tightly related during the creation of scientific knowledge. Procedural abduction, at the scientific level of Strict...
