from A Study in Scarlet‚ Sherlock Holmes appears to employ the following four techniques (or philosophical strategies): the use of deductive reasoning‚ an analytical observation of details‚ a methodological problem-solving approach‚ and the use of semiotics to draw conclusions from the details he observes.

Why Sherlock Holmes is Just as Original as C. Auguste Dupin After reading two famous amateur detective stories by Edgar Allan Poe and two by Arthur Conan Doyle‚ I found myself questioning the originality of Doyle’s stories as compared to Poe’s stories. The stories in question are "The Purloined Letter" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Poe and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Doyle. All four of these stories had very exciting story lines and had very interesting
