Abductive cognition, a previously overlooked area of study, is the focus of this volume, which seeks to enhance understanding of creative and expert inferences. It bridges multiple disciplines, including philosophy, logic, and cognitive psychology, addressing the debate on the existence of a rational model for scientific discovery. While traditional views suggest that creative processes lack a logical foundation, advancements in artificial intelligence indicate that computational methods may effectively uncover empirical laws and theories, challenging existing assumptions about irrationality in scientific reasoning.
