== Inductive== | |||
'''Inductive reasoning''' is a method of reasoning in which a general principle is derived from a body of observations. It consists of making broad generalizations based on specific observations. | |||
==Deductive== | |||
'''Deductive reasoning''' is often referred to as 'top-down reasoning'. | |||
If something is assumed to be accurate and another relates to the first assumption, the original truth must also hold true for the second. | |||
For example, if a car's trunk is large and a bike does not fit into it, you may assume the bike must also be large. | |||
==Abductive== | |||
'''Abductive reasoning''' is to abduce (or take away) a logical assumption, explanation, inference, conclusion, hypothesis, or best guess from an observation or set of observations. Because the conclusion is merely a best guess, the conclusion that is drawn may or may not be true. | |||

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deductive_reasoning | ===Difference between inductive and deductive=== | ||
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning | The main difference between inductive and deductive reasoning is that inductive reasoning aims at developing a theory while deductive reasoning aims at testing an existing theory. | ||
In other words, inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to broad generalizations. Deductive reasoning works the other way around. | |||
==Application in [[Structured Democratic Dialogue Process== | |||
The use of [[Abductive Reasoning]] for the construction of the [[Influence Trees|Influence Tree]] and [[Inductive Reasoning]] for the construction of the [[Clusters|Clustering Process], emancipates the stakeholders from the prison of the extrapolation and perpetuation of the current situation. In this manner they can create futures and construct world-views that have never been. | |||
