Reviews

It provides the reader with a broad view of the various, distinct perspectives philosophers have taken regarding abduction. For these reasons especially, the book is an important and highly recommended contribution to the field. ... its primary strength is its success in renewing our attention on important approaches and questions that are perhaps not currently getting the consideration they deserve. ... Niiniluoto's book constitutes an important and welcome new contribution to our understanding of abductive reasoning. (Jonah N. Schupbach, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, August 26, 2019)
