Critical Thinking
Inductive reasoning leads to the philosophical problem of induction, and conclusions you draw every day are inductive. Reflect on the possibility that these conclusions could turn out to be wrong (false). Explain the limitations of inductive reasoning and how you can improve your critical thinking by being mindful of the fact that most of the conclusions we draw each day are inductive rather than deductive. Explain the difference between strong and weak inductive reasoning. Give at least two examples to illustrate your reasoning.
