Abstract
A background and a short summary of Part A: Philosophy and Abduction is presented. Peirce has provided different kinds of means for answering an “abductive puzzle,” that is, how problems are formulated and solutions take shape in the first phases of inquiry. Abduction has evolved with transformations in philosophy. The four chapters shortly introduced concentrate on semiotic, methodological, and epistemological issues surrounding abduction.
