Deductive logic is reasoning, which constructs or evaluates deductive arguments. Deductive arguments are attempts to show that a conclusion necessarily follows from a set of premises.
EX: All men are mortal(premises)
Socrates was man (premises)
Socrates was mortal (conclusion)
An inductive argument is one which is the premises are suppose to support the conclusion in such a way that if the premises are true, it is improbable that the conclusion would be false. Thus, the conclusion follows probably from the premises and inferences.
EX: Socrates was Greek (premises)
Lost Greeks eat fish (premises)
Socrates ate fish(conclusion)

Deductive logic = explanation-origin principle is taken from the general to decide in particular, are a priori and must be true in a theoretical / doctrinal.
Inductive logic = explanation derived from the cases in concreto for later observed regularities, aposterioru whose truth is based on the non-dogmatic.
