English
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]4 years ago
4 0

<u>Deductive reasoning: </u>By definition it is when you move from a general statement, such as "<em>All men are mortals", </em>to a more specific statement as <em>"Socrates is a man", </em>through a logical thought process as in "<em>Therefore, Socrates is mortal".</em>

Other example:

"This dog always barks when someone is at the door, and the dog didn’t bark. " <u>Conclusion:</u> There’s no one at the door.

<u>Counterexample:</u> is an example with a negative connotation. Whereas an example may be used to support or illustrate a claim, a counterexample is used to refute an assertion.

<u>Example:</u>

The assumption that <em>every English word contains at least one vowel.</em> Which is simply not true. One of the more exotic counterexamples is the word nth - of a mathematical origin.

Example of compound ideas​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Compound ideas, although derived from experience, are formed by the mind by combining simple ideas, so the mind acquires an active role in the production of such compound ideas (such as ideas of beauty, gratitude, universe, etc.).

Explanation:

The understanding selects several ideas, gathers and associates them and ends up synthesizing them into a compound idea of a higher level than the original ones.

The most abstract, more elaborate ideas such as the notion of beauty, eternity, infinity, etc. They are compound ideas (this always according to Locke who was the creator of the differentiation between simple ideas and complex ideas).

An example is the game of billiards: if I hit a billiard ball with the stick, I transmit energy to it, then the ball moves. In other words, a cause (hitting the billiard ball with the stick) is followed by an effect (the billiard ball moves).
