Focusing on abductive reasoning as articulated by Charles S. Peirce, this book delves into the historical and systematic relationships of his foundational ideas within American pragmatism. It broadens the understanding of abduction to encompass hypothesis discovery and the pursuit of the best explanations. The analysis offers new perspectives on reasoning that connects effects to causes and surprising observations to their explanatory theories, enriching the discourse on Peirce's contributions and their interpretations.
