Abstract

The focus of this chapter is the sort of abduction that is only achievable by means of the unique, generative process capable of producing original ideas. The authors discuss Kapitan’s (1997) theses as a framework for understanding Peirce’s theory of abduction. They then return to Peirce’s concepts of phenomenology and normative science to explore the relationships between these philosophical concepts (and that of mathematics) with the development of a model for Peirce’s concept of abduction. They conclude with an in-depth description of Relational thinking, which includes algorithms (based upon Chiasson’s notational system) for three of the many types of operations performed by Relational thinkers.
