Abstract

This section offers an overview to some formal models for ampliative reasoning found in the philosophy of science and logical literature: adaptive logics, dynamic epistemic logic, dialogical logic, and logics of evidence and truth. Each of these chapters proposes innovative ways to extend these frameworks to account for ampliative reasoning, for (enumerative) induction, and for abduction. The chapters are technical, but they all provide the intuition and rationale behind the notions presented. The diversity of frameworks displayed in this section shows the wide variety of formal tools for inductive and abductive reasoning modeling, a logical perspective for modeling cognition.
