Logic is the study of how to think accurately and rationally.
Logic uses Arguments to categorize thought processes.
An argument consists of a set of statements, one of which is a
conclusion. All other statements in an argument are called premises,
and support the conclusion.
There are two types of arguments: Deductive and Inductive.
Deductive= the premises contain the conclusion.
Inductive= the conclusion is not in the premises, but is probable.
Examples:
Deductive-
Nekros is Undead. Undead are kill-on-sight. Nekros is kill-on-sight.
Inductive-
Nekros is Undead. Undead have killed you before. Nekros is kill-on-sight.
**To discover the errors in Logic, one must first discover which type of argument is being used and then whether or not the conclusion is supported by the premises.**
For example,
Nekros is Undead.
There is a Green Law in effect.
Green Law means kill-on-sight all of green skin.
Nekros is kill-on-sight.
In this example, an inductive conclusion is drawn with no real
support. Nekros has not been established as being green.
