Compare and contrast deductive and inductive arguments There are two types of arguments: deductive and inductive. In a deductive argument‚ provided the premises are true‚ the conclusion is certainly true. For example: All ducks are birds (premise). Daffy is a duck (premise). Therefore‚ Daffy is a bird (conclusion). Deductive arguments are used by rationalists‚ because they use reason rather than experience‚ and provide certainty rather than probability. Deductive arguments are most used in the

Inductive versus Deductive Arguments – can concepts of (strength and cogency) and (validity and soundness) be used interchangeably?
