ABDUCTIVE INFERENCE AND PRACTICAL REASON: FIRST SIGHT ON THE PROBLEM
N. V. Golovko (Novosibirsk)
Abstract
The paper presents a preliminary consideration of the problem of practical reason formalization. The advantage of using the abductive inference on the level of theoretical reasoning opens some perspectives to use it as an instrument for solving the problem of formalization of practical reasoning. We just need to accept that the intentional actions of practical reason are the beliefs of a special kind, which are constructed and justified as the beliefs of theoretical reason. Interrogative logic and the definitory and strategic rules of inference are very similar to the prominent features of the practical reason, for example, to its teleological spirit and orientation to the best preferred state of affairs.
