Survey of Abduction, Deduction, Induction, Analogy, Inquiry • 5

This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on three elementary forms of inference, as recognized by a logical tradition extending from Aristotle through Charles S. Peirce.  Particular attention is paid to the way the inferential rudiments combine to form the more complex patterns of analogy and inquiry.

“The #LiberalParty has accidentally left part of its email provider’s #subscriber details exposed, revealing the types of #data harvested by the party during the #election campaign.

This gives rare #insight into some of the specific kinds of data the party is keeping on voters, including whether they are “predicted Chinese”, “predicted Jewish”, a “strong Liberal” and other #PersonalInformation.”

Re: Peter Cameron • Mathematics and Logic

My favorite polymathematician, Charles Sanders Peirce, gave a fourfold classification of what he called “methods of fixing belief”, or “settling opinion”, most notably and seminally in his paper, “The Fixation of Belief” (1877). Adjusting his nomenclature very slightly, if only for the sake of preserving a mnemonic rhyme scheme, we may refer to his four types as Tenacity, Authority, Plausibility (à priori pleasing praiseworthiness), and full‑fledged Scientific Inquiry.
