Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces you to the fundamental principles of deductive logic. It concerns itself only with what writers term deduction, to the exclusion of induction. Deductive logic helps determine whether an argument is valid or not by providing rules for drawing inferences from one or more propositions. The book takes the view that all our experience of the mortality of mankind does not refute, for example, the narrative of the translation of Elijah into heaven. While the science of induction may provide seemingly indisputable probabilities, in this book the author argues that deductive conclusions are the only ones that possess a conclusive and indisputable character. The author has taken the responsibility to lay down certain premises to be true and demonstrates what can be conclusively inferred from them on that assumption. However, the assumption itself may be incorrect, in which case all inferences from it would fall along with it.
