All concepts must fit into the total sum of knowledge
We often develop concepts from our perceptions of the world (not facts)
|
|
|
• 2 Formats: of logic
|
• Modus Ponens
• Modus Tollens |
|
|
• Modus Ponens:
|
• Affirming the antecedent
|
|
|
• If the theory (X) is true, then the prediction (Y) is true.
The theory (X) is true.
Therefore the prediction (Y) is true.
|
• Modus Ponens:
|
|
|
• Modus Tollens:
|
• Denying the consequent – falsifying it
|
|
|
• Modus Tollens:
|
• “Popper’s Chopper”
|
|
|
• If the theory (X) is true, then the prediction (Y) is true.
The prediction (Y) is false.
Therefore, the theory (X) is false.
|

|
|
• “_________________________________ will dictate why you do what you do.”
|

|
|
|
• The process of reasoning in which a conclusion follows (necessarily) from the stated premise.
|
• Deductive reasoning
|
|
|
• Deductive Reasoning:
|
• Reasoning from the general to the specific
|
|
|
Starts with a premise and draws conclusions based absolutely on the premise
• So if the premises are true, then the conclusion will also be true Impossible to have a false conclusion deduced from a true premise • Conclusion is just a reorganization of what was already stated in the premise; does not provide any additional information |
• Deductive Reasoning:
|
|
|
• Benefits of Deductive Reasoning:
|
• Always yields a true conclusion if the premise is true
• Facts DO result from proper deduction |
|
|
• Problems with Deductive Reasoning:
|
• Most of our reasoning in is not through the use of syllogisms – Contains ambiguities
• Offers no new information in the conclusions – Conclusion already contained in premise • Terminology must be well-defined • If your premise is flawed, your reasoning may be flawed as well |
|
|
• The nature of _______ knowledge is deductive.
|
Formal
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
• A principle of reasoning to a conclusion about all of the members of a class from examining only a few members of the class, is what?
|
• Inductive Reasoning
|
|
|

• Nothing more than probabilities… |
|
|
Inductive Reasoning:format/ reason
|

Quarterbacks that choke in playoffs cry like little girls & make excuses [Prem. 2]
In 2009, Tony Romo cried like a little girl and made excuses for choking in the playoffs. [Conclusion]
|
|
|
• Problems with Inductive Reasoning:

|
|
• Informal (Inductive) Reasoning is what?
|
• Making a claim without using proper Inductive Reasoning
• Ex: “If DCs are allowed to prescribe drugs, the profession will be lost.” |
|
|

The terms have a broad scope of meaning
• Multiple levels of meaning may lead to confusion and disagreement Words lose their meaning • Produces conclusions that are NOT contained within the initial premise |
|
|
• Formal / Deductive reasoning will always arrive at truth if __________.
|
• The original premise is correct
|
|
|
• Informal reasoning is based on what?
|
• Likely outcomes
|

|
|
|
• Scientific Method:
|
• Empirical Method
|
|
|
• Problems with the Scientific Method:
|
• Not reliable with living systems
Living systems are dynamic and there are multiple variables constantly in play
• Impossible to remove all variables except one between any two people • Physiological adaptations / capacity for adaptations can’t be quantified to a degree that offers reliable data • Correlation may be confused with Causal relationship • Mistaken “cause” could be just a secondary effect – just because event B occurs after event A doesn’t mean A caused B • Based on INFORMAL reasoning – it can be WRONG |
|
