Its main focus is on the knowledge-enhancing virtues of abduction and on the productive role of scientific models. What are the distinctive features that define the kind of knowledge produced by science? To provide an answer to this question, the book first addresses the ideas of Aristotle, who stressed the essential inferential and distributed role of external cognitive tools and epistemic mediators in abductive cognition. This is analyzed in depth from both a naturalized logic and an ecology of cognition perspective. It is shown how the maximization of cognition, and of abducibility ? two typical goals of science ? are related to a number of fundamental aspects: the optimization of the eco-cognitive situatedness; the maximization of changeability for both the input and the output of the inferences involved; a high degree of information-sensitiveness; and the need to record the ?past life? of abductive inferential practices. Lastly, the book explains how some impoverished epistemological niches ? the result of a growing epistemic irresponsibility associated with the commodification and commercialization of science ? are now seriously jeopardizing the flourishing development of human creative abduction. 410 0$aStudies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics,$x2192-6255 ;$v37 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aComputational intelligence 606 $aLogic 606 $aEpistemology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000 606 $aCognitive Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20060 606 $aComputational Intelligence$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11014 606 $aLogic$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E16000 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aComputational intelligence. 615 0$aLogic. 615 14$aEpistemology. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aComputational Intelligence. 615 24$aLogic. 676 $a120 700 $aMagnani$b Lorenzo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$029055 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255209103321 996 $aThe Abductive Structure of Scientific Creativity$92055802 997 $aUNINA
