Deductive reasoning.
The law of detachment A -->B The law of contrapoitive Not B --> Not A The law of syllogism a --> b, b-->c, therefore a --> c
Law of Detachment also known as Modus Ponens (MP) says that if p=>q is true and p is true, then q must be true. The Law of Syllogism is also called the Law of Transitivity and states: if p=>q and q=>r are both true, then p=>r is true.
The law of detachment says that in cases where A implies B, if A is true, B must also be true. For example, if A says that this is a shark, and B says that it lives in the ocean, we can conclude that if A is true, B is also true, and it lives in the ocean.

The ontological argument is typically considered a deductive argument. It aims to establish the existence of God by reason alone, starting from the concept of God as a necessary being. It proceeds through logical steps to demonstrate that God's existence is a necessary consequence of His definition.
Law of Detachment states if p→q is true and p is true, then q must be true. p→q p therefore, q Ex: If Charlie is a sophomore (p), then he takes Geometry(q). Charlie is a sophomore (p). Conclusion: Charlie takes Geometry(q).
