Deductive Reasoning, Chapter 12


Summary:
Deductive reasoning is based on logic. It is arriving at a conclusion from one or more claims, also known as premises. Argument, reasoning, syllogism, premise, validy and sounded all interplay with each other to arrive at a conclusion. Inductive and deductive reasoning interweave with each other in and out of the argument in order to come up with a conclusion. Although premises are required being that they are claims for reasoning, syllogism is the main structure; it plays with word equations to reach true and valid conclusions.
Reflection:
Although I was able to follow this chapter, I was also really confused. I get where it's going with the idea, but it's a lot of twists and turns to take in. I think it can all be said a little simpler? That's just my own opinion. It was interesting though.
