ABDUCTIVE REASONINGSCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION

ABDUCTIVE REASONING: SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION [In the philosophy of science, we confront our logical account of chapter 3 with the notion of scientific explanation, as proposed by Hempel in two of his models of scientific inference: deductive-nomological and inductive-statistical [Hem65]. We showthat both can be viewed as forms of (abductive) explanatory arguments, the ultimate products of abductive reasoning. The former with deductive underlying inference, and the latter with statistical inference.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In the philosophy of science, we confront our logical account of chapter 3 with the notion of scientific explanation, as proposed by Hempel in two of his models of scientific inference: deductive-nomological and inductive-statistical [Hem65]. We showthat both can be viewed as forms of (abductive) explanatory arguments, the ultimate products of abductive reasoning. The former with deductive underlying inference, and the latter with statistical inference.]
