Dear All
This Wed 30 April we have John Wood (UBC) at 3.30 in The Refectory who
will be talking on
"Cognitive economics and Peircean abduction"
Abstract
Everyone agrees that deduction is truth-preserving and that induction
is likelihood-enhancing. There is an important sense in which it may
be said that the distinctive feature of abduction is that it is
ignorance-preserving. Considerations pro and contra are considered
here.
There will be a talk at 2PM in the dept seminar room to explain the
background of the talk to graduate students and other interested
parties.
