Critique: In "Whispers in the Wind", author Veronica Giolli has deftly crafted a smart and tough investigator who solves cases with equal parts
deductive logic, psychic perception and spiritual intuition, in a story that portrays grief, courage, and compelling insights into Native American families.
Scientific facts can be discovered and hypotheses proved through experiments and
deductive logic, but in the realm of religion and faith, that involves interpretation of the word of God and application of ahadith and Sunnah, scholars owe it not only to themselves but also to the Muslim community to remain true to the spirit of scholarship, by constantly reviewing, questioning and analysing their conclusions.
He covers brain damage, impaired verbal defense mechanisms, loss and grief, and inductive and
deductive logic. Brain damage predisposes many people with aphasia to a variety of psychological reactions, he finds, and these reactions are precipitated by stress and loss, and perpetuated by impaired verbal defense mechanisms and coping styles.
Moreover, there needs to be more explicit recognition that heterodox economics--like Shaikh's modern variant of classical political economy --employ open systems of analysis, in which their structures rest on analyses of class, sectors, institutions, or gender, and from which conclusions are drawn using chains of reasoning (not necessarily
deductive logic) and applications.
While the latter statements constitute
deductive logic, the former statements, in my conception, constitute inductive logic.
He argues that
deductive logic is not creative, whereas mathematics is, emerging from the real world.
This paper finds support for the view of the quantum logicians who assert quantum logic to be the most comprehensive
deductive logic. This is demonstrated by the derivability of quantum theory from one additional fundamental axiom beyond that required for deriving classical theory, and evidence that some fundamental aspects of quantum physics can never admit a classical understanding.
Reading Sherlock Holmes as a camera, with attention to the multiple valences of the term "sensitive instrument," allows Grimes to argue that it is Holmes's connection to the spiritual and the hypnotic trance that makes him so successful at his trademark
deductive logic. While there has been a lot of critical work nuancing the empiricism and materialism of the Holmes stories, Grimes contributes a unique and productive reading to this conversation.
This criticism is the common complaint against deductivist and logocentric approaches that all natural language argumentation occurs in a context and that
deductive logic 'ignores' context.
However, continuing advances in mathematics, physics, and the understanding of complex systems have expanded the purview of
deductive logic into traditionally inductive realms, including biology and the corollary study of biology, biomedicine.
