These elements will be summarized and further deepened in this article. In addition, I will demonstrate how, in contrast to traditional demonstrative logical ideal systems, which are typified by what I refer to as the \u2018maximization of memorylessness\u2019, a naturalized logic of abduction demonstrates the necessity of recording the \u2018past life\u2019 of abductive inferential praxes. Lastly, I will analyze the significance and nature of the maximization of eco-cognitive openness, which characterizes abduction in science and describes how the many above-mentioned elements are relevant to the aims of new eco-cognitive epistemology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jigpal\/jzae093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,17]],"date-time":"2024-06-17T17:56:04Z","timestamp":1718646964000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The key universal quality of logical abductive inferences: Does optimization of eco-cognitive situatedness supersede other criteria like minimality, consistency, relevance and plausibility?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Magnani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Humanities , Philosophy Section, and Computational Philosophy Laboratory, University of Pavia,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026032700490555600_ref1","article-title":"Seeking Explanations: Abduction in Logic, Philosophy of Science and Artificial Intelligence","author":"Aliseda","year":"1997"},{"key":"2026032700490555600_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1007\/1-4020-3907-7","volume-title":"Abductive reasoning.
