"The author is a world-leading expert on the topic of abduction and very well positioned to write this book based on a wide range of papers on the topic." - Professor Richard Dawid, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden
"For many years Igor Douven has been one of the most prolific and sophisticated defenders of the claim that explanatory considerations can be confirmationally relevant. His research in this field culminates in this wonderful book, which masterfully combines cognitive science and formal epistemology to address a topic of great current interest. The book is excellently written and highly accessible. It is full of insights, and there is no doubt that readers -- from beginning PhD students to experienced researchers -- will learn a lot from it. - Professor Stephan Hartmann, LMU München, Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy
