(1) Reasoning is the process of deriving a judgment from two antecedent judgments. The syllogism is a common form of expressing the process of reasoning.
Inductive reasoning is reasoning from less general premises to a more general conclusion.
Deductive reasoning is reasoning from more general premises to a less general conclusion.
The inductive syllogism is not supposed to conform to the canons of the deductive syllogism.
