Rhetorical Terms
Induction
reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion. The truth of an inductive argument is supposed to be probable, based upon the evidence given
Sept. 2, 2013. Smoke from the fires below Pilot Peak intermingles with clouds from an arriving weather front as firefighters begin to get the Rim Fire under control near Old Yosemite Road, Division S, as seen from Greeley Hill, Calif.
deduction
the process of reasoning from one or more general statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion; links premises with conclusions. If all premises are true, the terms are clear, and the rules of deductive logic are followed, then the conclusion reached is necessarily true.
Rhetorical Analysis Week 4
Inductive reasoning is probabilistic; given the premises, the conclusion is probable.Example:100% of biological life forms that we know of depend on liquid water to exist.Therefore, if we discover a new biological life form it will probably depend on liquid water to exist.
Inductive vs. deductive reasoningUnlike deductive arguments, inductive reasoning allows for the possibility that the conclusion is false, even if all of the premises are true. Instead of being valid or invalid, inductive arguments are either strong or weak, which describes how probable it is that the conclusion is true. deduction: reasoning from the general to the particular (or from cause to effect)Induction, or generalization: reasoning from detailed facts to general principles
