Study Notes
Types of Reasoning
- Inductive reasoning moves from specific details and observations to more general underlying principles or processes.
- Inductive arguments are best expressed inductively, which involves making a general conclusion based on specific instances or observations.
Deductive Reasoning
- Deductive reasoning typically moves from general premises to a specific conclusion, where the conclusion follows necessarily and with absolute certainty from the premises.
Inductive Reasoning
- The nature of inductive reasoning is that it involves making a probable conclusion based on specific instances or observations, but the conclusion does not follow necessarily and with absolute certainty from the premises.
- Inductive reasoning only provides a degree of probability or likelihood, rather than absolute certainty.
Inductive Method (Scientific Method)
- The authority in the inductive method, also known as the scientific method, is empirical evidence and data collected through observation and experimentation.
