Study Notes

Reasoning Types

Inductive reasoning is a type of logical argument that proceeds from specific observations to a general conclusion, aiming to make a probable conclusion based on the evidence.
A potential error associated with inductive reasoning is that it can lead to over-generalization or hasty conclusions, as the conclusion is not necessarily true even if the premises are true.

Deductive Reasoning

Deductive reasoning is a type of logical argument that proceeds from one or more general statements (premises) to a specific conclusion, aiming to reach a certain and absolute conclusion based on the premises.
