Computer science Philosophy
1 Eden described them as the "rationalist paradigm" (which treats computer science as a branch of mathematics, which is prevalent in
theoretical computer science, and mainly employs deductive reasoning), the "technocratic paradigm" (which might be found in engineering
approaches, most prominently in software engineering), and the "scientific paradigm"
(which approaches computer-related artifacts from the empirical perspective of natural sciences, identifiable in some branches of
Artificial Intelligence).

Scientific method
1 Any useful hypothesis will enable predictions, by reasoning including
deductive reasoning. It might predict the outcome of an experiment in a
laboratory setting or the observation of a phenomenon in nature. The
prediction can also be statistical and deal only with probabilities.

Scientific method
1 The ancient Greek philosopher Thales in the 6th century BC refused to accept
supernatural, religious or mythological explanations for natural phenomena,
proclaiming that every event had a natural cause. The development of deductive
reasoning by Plato was an important step towards the scientific method. Empiricism
seems to have been formalized by Aristotle, who believed that universal truths could be
reached via induction.

Philosophy
1 Deductive reasoning is when, given certain statements (called premises), other statements (called conclusions)
are unavoidably implied

Evolutionary psychology - Modularity of mind
1 In contrast, some academics argue that it is unnecessary to posit the existence of highly domain specific modules, and, suggest that the neural anatomy of the brain supports a
model based on more domain general faculties and processes. Moreover, empirical support for the domain-specific theory stems
almost entirely from performance on variations of the Wason selection task which is extremely limited in scope as it only tests
one subtype of deductive reasoning.

Laissez-faire - Critiques
1 The British economist John Maynard Keynes condemned laissez-faire economic policy on
several occasions. In The End of Laissez-faire (1926), one of the most famous of his critiques, Keynes argues that the doctrines
of laissez-faire are dependent to some extent on improper deductive reasoning,
and, Keynes says, the question of whether a market solution or state intervention is
better must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Mercantilism - Legacy

principles was the proper method to discover economic truths

Semantic Web - Challenges
1 Inconsistency: These are logical contradictions which will inevitably arise
during the development of large ontologies, and when ontologies from separate sources
are combined. Deductive reasoning fails catastrophically when faced with
inconsistency, because "anything follows from a contradiction". Defeasible reasoning
and paraconsistent reasoning are two techniques which can be employed to deal
with inconsistency.

History of science - Science in the Greek world
1 Their development of deductive reasoning was of particular
importance and usefulness to later scientific inquiry

Empiricism - Pragmatism
1 Among Peirce's major contributions was to place inductive reasoning and
deductive reasoning in a complementary rather than
competitive mode, the latter of which had been the primary trend among
the educated since David Hume wrote a century before

Exploratory testing - Benefits and drawbacks
1 Another major benefit is that testers can use deductive reasoning based on the results of previous results to guide their future testing on the fly.
They do not have to complete a current series of scripted tests before
focusing in on or moving on to exploring a more target rich
environment. This also accelerates bug detection when used
intelligently.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-deductive-reasoning-toolkit.html
Charles Sanders Peirce -
1 Influences radiate from points on parallel lines of inquiry in Aristotle's work, in such loci as: the
basic terminology of psychology in On the Soul; the founding description of sign relations in On
Interpretation; and the differentiation of inference into three modes that are commonly translated into English as Abductive reasoning|abduction, Deductive reasoning|deduction, and Inductive
reasoning|induction, in the Prior Analytics, as well as inference by analogy (called paradeigma by
Aristotle), which Peirce regarded as involving the other three modes.

Charles Sanders Peirce - Modes of inference
1 Borrowing a brace of concepts from Aristotle, Peirce examined three
basic modes of inference — abductive reasoning|abduction,
deductive reasoning|deduction, and Inductive reasoning|induction — in his critique of arguments or logic
proper

Abductive reasoning
1 In abductive reasoning, unlike in deductive reasoning, the premises do
not guarantee the conclusion. One can understand abductive reasoning
as inference to the best explanation.Sober, Elliot. Core
Questions in Philosophy,5th edition.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-deductive-reasoning-toolkit.html
Abductive reasoning - Deduction, induction, and abduction
1 ; Deductive reasoning (deduction) : allows deriving b from a only where b is a formal logical consequence of a. In other words,
deduction derives the consequences of the assumed. Given the truth of the
assumptions, a valid deduction guarantees the truth of the conclusion. For example, given that all bachelors are unmarried males, and given that this person is a
bachelor, one can deduce that this person is an unmarried male.

1 Deductive reasoning and abductive reasoning thus differ in the direction
in which a rule like a entailment|entails b is used for inference

Foundationalism
1 Classically, foundationalism had posited infallibility of basic beliefs and deductive reasoning between beliefs—a strong foundationalism

Foundationalism - Classical foundationalism
1 Classical foundationalism maintains that basic beliefs must be

can be used to transfer justification from one belief to another.Lemos

Falsifiability - Economics

is Empiricism|empirically unfalsifiable and that thus the only appropriate means to
understand economic events is by deductive reasoning|logically studying Subjective theory

Empirical evidence
1 In another sense, empirical evidence may be synonymous with the
outcome of an experiment. In this sense, an empirical result is a unified
confirmation. In this context, the term semi-empirical is used for
qualifying theoretical methods which use in part basic axioms or
postulated scientific laws and experimental results. Such methods are opposed to theoretical ab initio
methods which are purely Deductive reasoning|deductive and based on
first principles.

Formal reasoning - Subject-centred reason in early modern philosophy
1 In the late 17th century, through the 18th century, John Locke and David Hume
developed Descartes' line of thought still further. Hume took it in an especially
skepticism|skeptical direction, proposing that there could be no possibility of
deductive reasoning|deducing relationships of cause and effect, and therefore no
knowledge is based on reasoning alone, even if it seems otherwise.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-deductive-reasoning-toolkit.html
Formal reasoning - Logical reasoning methods and argumentation
1 Looking at logical categorizations of different types of reasoning the
traditional main division made in philosophy is between deductive
reasoning and inductive reasoning. Logic|Formal logic has been described as the science of
deduction.Jeffrey, Richard. 1991. Formal logic: its scope and limits,
(3rd ed.). New York: McGraw-Hill:1. The study of inductive reasoning is
generally carried out within the field known as informal logic or critical
thinking.

Aristotle - Aristotle's epistemology
1 In a certain sense, Aristotle's method is both Inductive reasoning|inductive and Deductive reasoning|deductive, while Plato's is essentially deductive from A priori and a posteriori|a priori
principles.

Statistics - Scope
1 Statistics is closely related to probability theory, with which it is often grouped. The
difference is, roughly, that probability theory starts from the given parameters of a total population to deductive reasoning|deduce
probabilities that pertain to samples. Statistical inference, however, moves in the opposite direction—inductive reasoning|inductively
inferring from samples to the parameters of a larger or total population. Statistics has many

Reasoning - Deductive reasoning
1 A subdivision of Philosophy is Logic. Logic is the study of reasoning.
Deduction is a form of reasoning in which a conclusion follows
necessarily from the stated premises. Deduction is generally an inference by reasoning from the general to the
specific. A deduction is also the conclusion reached by a deductive
reasoning process. One classic example of deductive reasoning is that found in syllogisms like the

1 'Inductive reasoning '(as opposed to deductive reasoning|deductive reasoning) is reasoning in
