Abduction—Also called retroduction. It is the acceptance of a philosophical premise on the basis of its power to account for causation with logic and evidence. Abduction is the rational justification of a deduction. Deduction per se is the acceptance of a premise on authority. The term abduction was put forward by C.S. Peirce (1839-1914). Śrīla Pra-bhupāda termed a similar method of Vedic thought philosophical speculation. See Deduction, Induction, Logic.
