I agree. Hence I'm not a strict rationalist. Direct that comment to PKC, who is one to believe in only deductive reasoning. |
Or any of the other "rationalists" on board here... Agreed, I'm the same... although I mostly employ deductive reasoning, but I don't frown upon or dismiss inductive reasoning... and do infact incorperate it in my thought process as it kind of necessary to get anywhere. It would be intersting if the rationalists claim they don't use inductive reasoning. No one answered so far, and I'm not trying to be a prick to them... just discuss the subject.
