<h2 id="m_-6795938957240640536about-this-book">About this book</h2>
<div>
<p>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.</p>
