Abstract

[This chapter enquires into the possibility of having types of abduction. In the two first sections, it explores the classification of types of abduction given by Peirce (although he paradoxically argued as well that abduction has no divisions) and those given by scholars, such as Thagard, Eco, Hoffman, Schurz, Aliseda, and others. The journey across their suggestions of types of abduction permits not only to see the number and definition of those types, but it also permits to identify the criteria according to which those classifications were obtained. In the last section, the author evaluates those suggestions and unifies the criteria used by the scholars in order to propose that abduction is a very prolific and varied inference.]
