Thinking for yourself Ch11-Summary&Map


Inductive reasoning is used as a method for obtaining information when it would be impossible to examine all the data available, is the process of reasoning in which the premises of an argument are believed to support the conclusion but do not ensure it. An inductive fallacy is a fallacy where induction goes wrong. Induction means that you are trying to find general principles from known facts, it can be done through sensory observation, causal reasoning, and from pattern recognition.
