Abductive Reasoning: Logical Investigations into Discovery and Explanation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This talk will be a panoramic view of my recently published book at Springer. This book is a contribution to the study of abductive reasoning, providing logical foundations and a sample of several applications. Divided into three parts on the conceptual framework, the logical foundations, and the applications, this monograph takes the reader for a comprehensive tour through the taxonomy of abductive reasoning, via the logical workings of abductive inference ending with applications pertinent to scientific explanation, empirical progress, pragmatism and belief revision.

The motivation behind the collection of papers presented in this THEORIA forum on Abductive reasoning is my book Abductive Reasoning: Logical Investigations into the Processes of Discovery and Explanation. These contributions raise fundamental questions. One of them concerns the conjectural character of abduction. The choice of a logical framework for abduction is also discussed in detail, both...
متن کاملIgnorance and Semantic Tableaux: Aliseda on Abduction
This is an examination of similarities and differences between two recent models of abductive reasoning. The one is developed in Atocha Aliseda’s Abductive Reasoning: Logical Investigations into the Processes of Discovery and Evaluation (2006). The other is advanced by Dov Gabbay and the present author in their The Reach of Abduction: Insight and Trial (2005). A principal difference between the...

Since the term was coined by Ohsawa, Chance Discovery has become an active research area. The Chance Discovery research is involved in the following two basic questions: how to define a chance and how to discover chances. Abe actually have answered these two questions by introducing Abductive Reasoning (AR) and then extending to Abductive Analogical Reasoning (AAR). His explanation is very clos...
متن کاملLogical Argumentation, Abduction and Bayesian Decision Theory: A Bayesian Approach to Logical Arguments and its Application to Legal Evidential Reasoning
There are good normative arguments for using Bayesian decision theory for deciding what to do. However, there are also good arguments for using logic, where we want have a formal semantics for a language and use the structure of logical argumentation with logical variables to represent multiple individuals (things). This paper shows how decision theory and logical argumentation can be combined ...
متن کاملReasoning and Brain Damage: prediction and explanation in left and right hemisphere patients
The left and right hemispheres of the brain are generally known to be associated with different types of processing. The left hemisphere is associated with linguistic, sequential and logical processing. The right hemisphere is associated with abstract and visuospatial reasoning and creative processing. In narrative discourse, explanation can be considered abductive reasoning, described as a cre...
