Inductive
Faulty
A syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning that draws a conclusion from two specific premises or observations. It typically consists of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion that logically follows from the two premises. For example, if all humans are mortal (major premise) and Socrates is a human (minor premise), then it concludes that Socrates is mortal. This method of reasoning helps to clarify relationships between different statements and can be used to derive new knowledge from established facts.
The three parts to a conclusion: 1. Restates the main premise 2. Presents one or two general sentences which accurately summarise your arguments which support the main premise 3. Provides a general warning of the consequences of not following the premise that you put forward and/or a general statement of how the community will benefit from following that premise
Tautology and circular reasoning are related concepts but not the same. A tautology is a statement that is true in all possible interpretations, often redundantly stating the same idea (e.g., "It will either rain tomorrow or it won't"). Circular reasoning, on the other hand, is a logical fallacy where the conclusion is included in the premise, effectively assuming what it is trying to prove. While both involve a lack of informative content, tautology is a logical truth, whereas circular reasoning undermines the argument's validity.
A Theory is a hypothesis that has withstood testing, but cannot be proven infallibly true, meaning that the only way to form a theory is through scientific testing. Reasoning is necessary to form a hypothesis, which will be considered a theory once tested and supported by the results. Two types of reasoning are Inductive Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning.Inductive ReasoningMaking observations and extrapolating to come to a conclusion beyond the scope of current information. i.e.The grass outside is greenthereforeAll grass is greenDeductive ReasoningUsing logic to reach a conclusion, specifically when the conclusion necessarily follows the premise(s). i.e.This mouse is grayandAll gray mice are fastthereforeThis mouse is fastOnce you have a hypothesis, it can be tested using the Scientific Method.Scientific MethodAsk a questionDo background researchConstruct a hypothesisTest your hypothesis using an experimentAnalyze data and draw a conclusionCommunicate your resultsIf the results of the experiment support the hypothesis, then it is considered true. If others are able to duplicate the experiment and achieve the same results, the hypothesis will be considered a theory.inductive
Not necessarily. An argument is not automatically true just because the premise and conclusion are true. The reasoning connecting the premise to the conclusion must also be valid for the argument to be considered true.
A deductive argument is a logical reasoning process where the conclusion necessarily follows from the premise. If the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true. It is a form of reasoning that aims to provide logically conclusive evidence for the conclusion.
Faulty
A premise has one term in common with a conclusion. A minor premise contains the minor term in the conclusion, which is the subject. It can be described as a subtle or deceptive argument or deductive reasoning.
The four steps to inductive reasoning are... 1.) start with a premise 2.) build on premise with if then statements 3.) make equation or something else to prove something right. 4.) conclusion "this is true by deductive reasoning"

The two parts of a logical argument are the premise (or premises) and the conclusion. The premise is the part of an argument that visibly have evidence or logical steps to reach a conclusion. A conclusion is the result of the reasoning in the premise.
A syllogism is a type of deductive reasoning that draws a conclusion from two specific premises or observations. It typically consists of a major premise, a minor premise, and a conclusion that logically follows from the two premises. For example, if all humans are mortal (major premise) and Socrates is a human (minor premise), then it concludes that Socrates is mortal. This method of reasoning helps to clarify relationships between different statements and can be used to derive new knowledge from established facts.
A valid argument becomes invalid when it contains a logical fallacy, such as a false premise or faulty reasoning. Additionally, if the conclusion does not necessarily follow from the premises provided, the argument is considered invalid.
A premise is the fact or supposition upon which a chain of logic is based. If it is true, and logic (reasoning) is correctly applied, then the conclusion reached by the chain of logic is also true. When you negate the premise, you show that the premise is not true and that, therefore, the conclusion is not true, or at the least, has not been demonstrate to be true.
Start with a general principle or premise. Apply the principle to a specific case or situation. Draw a conclusion based on the application of the principle to the specific case. Assess the validity of the conclusion based on the initial premise.
A deductive argument starts from a more general idea to reach a more specific conclusion. It involves moving from a premise that is universally accepted to a specific conclusion that logically follows from that premise.
