Icons, Interrogations, and Graphs: On Peirce's Integrated Notion of Abduction
Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society. 2020. Vol. 56. No. 1. P. 43–61.
Pietarinen A., Bellucci F.
Peirce's semiotic characterization of abductive reasoning in the 1903 Syllabus and in its drafts is related to the interrogative mood of the conclusion of abductive reasoning, both in the light of the Syllabus and in that of Peirce's post-1903 analysis of abduction and speculative grammar. The relevant pages of the Syllabus also present two non-standard logical graphs that are new. We surmise their intended meaning and explain connections to the interrogative construal of abductive reasoning. These three aspects of abduction—its semiotic, speech-act theoretical, and graphical dimensions—are all epitomized on one single page of the Syllabus and its alternative drafts.

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

In his main works, René Descartes, in addition to such an impressive metaphysical construction, over and over again gives promises of happiness, which must certainly accompany the study of philosophy according to a new model.

We use interfaces to disconnect from the situation around us, from the persistent experience of the outside world, from our neighbors. It is this ability of interfaces to legitimize “absence” that is usually overlooked in their analysis, as the emphasis is on concentration, management, and control. In reality, interfaces are not so much pragmatic and ...

Musical notation has enjoyed universal recognition for centuries, whereas dance notation has remained comparatively underdeveloped and conceptually challenging. As a kinetic and embodied art form, dance requires a system of notation capable of reflecting its visual, affective, and technical dimensions while at the same time meeting the normative demands of stage practice.

Soviet silent cinema was an era of spectacular experimentation, burlesque, and grotesque, where the adventure genre intersected with revolutionary rhetoric, satire, and critiques of capitalism. The theme of abduction—of people, ideas, and property—appears more frequently than one might assume, particularly within genres like agitprop
adventure, crime drama, and satirical dystopia. This study addresses two interconnected objectives. The first is to identify, ...
