Study Notes
Reasoning
- Reasoning is the process of thinking logically to form conclusions and judgments.
- It involves analyzing information, understanding relationships between ideas, and making decisions based on evidence.
Types of Reasoning
- Deductive Reasoning: Uses general premises to reach specific conclusions. Follows a top-down approach. If the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true.
- Inductive Reasoning: Uses specific observations to draw general conclusions. Follows a bottom-up approach. The conclusion is probable but not guaranteed.
- Abductive Reasoning: Starts with incomplete observations and seeks the simplest and most likely explanation. Used in hypothesis formation.
- Analogical Reasoning: Uses comparisons between similar things to infer a conclusion about the relationship.
Deductive Reasoning in Tagalog
- Tiyakin ang Konklusyon: Deductive reasoning offers a logical connection from the premises to the conclusion. If the premises are correct, the conclusion is inevitably true.
- Istraktura: Deductive reasoning often uses a syllogism format, consisting of two premises and a conclusion.
- Gamit: Frequently used in mathematics, science, and formal logic, where proof and theories rely on specific principles.
Inductive Reasoning in Togalog
- Inductive reasoning starts with specific observations or examples and aims to build a general conclusion. In this type of reasoning, the conclusion might be true, but not guaranteed.
- The conclusion becomes more likely based on the evidence or examples.
Syllogisms
- A syllogism is a type of logical argument consisting of three parts: a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion.
- Rules: There are rules for constructing valid syllogisms.
- Rule 1:: A syllogism must contain exactly three terms.
- Rule 2: The middle term (the term that appears in both premises) must be distributed at least once.
- Rule 3: If a term is distributed in the conclusion, it must also be distributed in the premises.
- Violations: Violating these rules can lead to invalid syllogisms.
- Equivocation: Using a term ambiguously.
