Mon, August 22, 2:30 to 4:10pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session 100min
Description
The past few years have seen increasing attention to early pragmatism, and a resurgent interest in abduction: the imaginative recasting of the world in terms of surprising observations. We invite papers that develop or critically assess this move, linking it to explanation, causality, and the craft of theorizing.
