PHIL 1200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Inductive Reasoning
Document Summary
Inductive argumentation is when the premise is true, you can induct that the conclusion is likely true. Valid reasoning is when an argument is valid, the conclusion has a 100% chance of being true. A conclusion can only be false if one of the premises is false. Inductive reasoning says if one thing is true than everything is true, which is not necessarily wrong or right. Logic determines whether an argument is right or wrong (argument is valid) An abstract is when somebody disagrees with your argument because ridiculously impossible events would follow. A sound argument has to be valid and have all premises be true. However, scholars believe there is no such thing as race and race is in fact socially constructed. Mediation only works when reasonable parties have reasonable requests.
