THINKING FOR YOUR SELF 12
Deductive reasoning: how do I reason from premises?
Deductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions logically from other things that are already known. Deductive reasoning is a course that premises and conclusions necessarily follow from these premises investigate. Syllogisms allow logicians to determine what is being said, to identify hidden premises, and to find out if the argument makes sense.
What syllogisms do?
1. to clarify the claims of the premises
2. to discover and expose any hidden premises
3. to find out if one thought follows logically from another
Each of these objectives will be discussed in turn.
