Abductive Cognition

Viac o knihe

Focusing on abductive cognition, this volume delves into the often-overlooked realm of creative and expert inferences in cognition. It bridges various fields, including philosophy, logic, and artificial intelligence, to examine high-level abductive reasoning. The text challenges the traditional views held by twentieth-century philosophers regarding the rationality of creative processes in scientific discovery, suggesting that while many argue such reasoning is irrational, advancements in artificial intelligence indicate that effective methods for discovery do exist.
