Resumo

Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem normativa do raciocínio abdutivo a partir da semiótica peirciana. Em termos gerais, a abdução é entendida como um raciocínio ampliativo e meta-direcionado que se inicia com o reconhecimento de um fato surpreendente e se encerra, provisoriamente, com a adoção de uma hipótese explanatória que indica caminhos razoáveis de pesquisa futura. A questão direcionadora pode ser assim formulada: que critérios a abdução deve incorporar a fim de ser reconhecida como um raciocínio válido e frutífero no interior da investigação científica que visa o crescimento do conhecimento? Para endereçar esta questão, enfatizamos o caráter normativo da abdução a partir de sua caracterização nos três ramos da semiótica peirciana, quais sejam: (i) gramática especulativa, (ii) crítica e (iii) metodêutica. A título de considerações finais, ressaltamos a relevância do estudo do argumento abdutivo para a compreensão da prática científica contemporânea, assim como elencamos questões e problemas que permanecem abertos, reivindicando abduções em abduções.
