   - The first book to comment on Magnani’s logical, epistemological, and
   cognitive contributions to abductive reasoning
   - Contains articles of experts on hot topics in logic, the philosophy of
   science, and philosophy of cognitive science
   - Proposes new perspectives on abduction as an inference, its logical
   models, and its role in cognitive activities

About this book

This book, the first of two volumes, provides novel perspectives on the
study of abduction, by analyzing both Magnani’s ample investigation of the
subject and discussing its rising importance in today’s epistemology and
philosophy of science. Notwithstanding the long history of the concept,
which has been studied since its analysis in Aristotle’s Organon, in the
last fifty years, it has known a resurgent interest in the epistemological
literature since it is an ampliative inference deemed to be at the core of
creative leaps and acts of discovery. For these reasons, different open
questions still bother interested researchers: which constraints affect
abductive reasoning when a hypothesis is evaluated or selected? Should we
adopt a unified view on abduction or maintain a pluralistic perspective
regarding its forms and functions? What kinds of models can be used in
abductive reasoning? This last question, in particular, shows how the
topics of the two parts of the volume are intrinsically connected and
ensures they are of great importance to those interested in epistemology,
philosophy of science, mathematical logic and AI.
