It starts by discussing the major theories of abduction, focusing on the hybrid nature of abduction as both inference and intuition. It reports on the Peircean theory of abduction and discusses the more recent Magnani concept of animal abduction, connecting them to the work of medieval philosophers. Building on Magnani's manipulative abduction, the accompanying classification of abduction, and the hybrid concept of abduction as both inference and intuition, the book examines the problem of visual perception together with the related concepts of misrepresentation and semantic information. It presents the author's views on caricature and the caricature model of science, and then extends the scope of discussion by introducing some standard issues in the philosophy of science. By discussing the concept of ad hoc hypothesis generation as enthymeme resolution, it demonstrates how ubiquitous the problem of abduction is in all the different individual scientific disciplines. This comprehensive text provides philosophers, logicians and cognitive scientists with a historical, unified and authoritative perspective on abduction.Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics,2192-6255 ;32EpistemologyCognitive psychologyLogicArtificial intelligenceEpistemologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000Cognitive Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060Logichttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E16000Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Epistemology.Cognitive psychology.Logic.Artificial intelligence.Epistemology.Cognitive Psychology.Logic.Artificial Intelligence.511.31Park Woosukauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut980215MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155274103321Abduction in Context2235907UNINA
