The Abductive Method (book)

*The Abductive Method* explores how we generate best-possible explanations for uncertain or incomplete information. It focuses on "abduction," a reasoning process where we infer the most likely cause or hypothesis that could explain a given set of observations. Unlike deduction, which guarantees certainty, or induction, which generalizes from examples, abduction offers plausible guesses that guide further investigation. The book discusses how this method applies across disciplines—from science to everyday decision-making—highlighting its importance for creative problem-solving and forming hypotheses amid uncertainty, ultimately helping us better understand and navigate complex situations.
