Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the main points of abduction. Pierce’s abduction is tried to be interpreted as a logical reasoning, which is responsible for creating explanatory hypotheses. Abduction – the search for a single factor that explains the causal phenomenon. the process of abduction consists of three stages: result – cause – explanation. Analysis of works of art shows that a number of considerations that have traditionally been considered deductive are abductions. Abduction is not used enough, as it remains unknown to both practitioners and scientists.
