The approach is sometimes philosophical, sometimes that of pure logic, and some papers adopt the more task-oriented approach of AI.

Abduction and Induction by Pa Flach

From the very beginning of their investigation of human reasoning, philosophers have identified two other forms of reasoning, besides deduction, which we now call abduction and induction. The approach is sometimes philosophical, sometimes that of pure logic, and some papers adopt the more task-oriented approach of AI.
`The present book.. does throw open windows towards understanding the true complexities of reasoning, by presenting abduction and induction intertwined as a fascinating case study for `real logic'.'
