Question

Deductive Reasoning has us shift from generalities to specifics without propositions.

Select one:

True

False

Answer 1

This is false because of the "without propositions" part. Deductive reasoning works by making a specific conclusion from a general principle. For example, "If I can do an action I must exist, and I am thinking, so therefore, I exist." Both "If I can do an action I must exist" and "I am thinking" are propositions because they can be answered as either true or false.
