Abstract

[After all these years of extensive discussion, Peircean abduction is still puzzling to us. One of the most pressing issues in understanding abduction is whether it is an instinct or an inference. For many commentators find it paradoxical “that new ideas and hypotheses are products of an instinct (or an insight), and products of an inference at the same time”.]
