I like the explanations better than my own professor. And his tips to remember are wonderful too. Plus he speaks slowly and doesn’t rush like the videos our instructor shares with us.
Keith H Hudson thanks for the comment. If you watch them you will know more about logic and critical thinking than most graduates. The series is not complete yet but more videos will be coming out. I wish you a pleasant and productive day.
16:45 wouldn't this be a inductive argument because it doesn't necessitate "less than" being the only conceivable conclusion based on the true premises. It can also be equal to.
Nice. Can you help me: what is the difference between this deductive and inductive argument language as you have explained (very clearly) and how it is used as a method in science? Is there a connection? I hope you understand. B
Deductive reasoning is reasoning by necessity and inductive reasoning is reasoning by probability. So, likewise deductive argument is one where it is impossible for the conclusion to be false, if the premises are true but inductive argument is one where it is improbable for the conclusion to be false if the premises are true. Noticed the two words 'impossible' and 'improbable'. One concludes with certainty while the other concludes with probability. Deductive argument shows that it is certainly the case while inductive argument shows that it is probably the case. And I would suggest you to watch the videos of this playlist in order, or else you won't understand anything at all.
