Abstract
We see abduction and induction as instances within a wide spectrum of reasoning processes. They are of special interest because they represent pure and isolated forms. These together with deduction were identified by C.S. Peirce, and central to his philosophy was the claim of these being the fundamental mechanisms of reasoning as spelled out in more detail by Flach and Kakas in their introductory chapter to this volume.
