The Relationship between Reduction and Deductive & Inductive Reasoning (Philosophy of science)

1. Introduction

It is known to all that science is to try to find “real things”. But how can we approach to the “real things”? Usually science can be viewed as experimental sciences. Because we often use experiments and tests to prove the hypothesis and assumption we make. Then we can get the theory and confirmation if experiments and tests succeed. Deductive and inductive reasoning are the main methods to make a scientific research. It is obvious that science should be in logic thinking. These two kinds of reasoning are always used in the procedure of logic thinking. Reduction which is also important in science is another kind of method or reasoning compared to deductive & inductive reasoning. In this article, I will make a discussion about the relationship in reduction and deductive & inductive reasoning in the importance and impact to science.
