Inductive Logic
Inductive logic is a method of reasoning that involves drawing general conclusions from specific observations or examples. Unlike deductive logic, which starts with general principles and moves to specific cases, inductive logic allows for the possibility that conclusions may not always be true. It is often used in scientific research, where repeated experiments lead to broader theories.
In inductive reasoning, the strength of the conclusion depends on the quality and quantity of the observations. For instance, if many swans are observed to be white, one might conclude that all swans are white, although this conclusion could be disproven by a single observation of a black swan.
