Deduction can mean:

  • Deductive reasoning, inference in which the conclusion is of no greater generality than the premises
  • Natural deduction, an approach to proof theory that attempts to provide a formal model of logical reasoning as it "naturally" occurs
  • Thinking from general rules to particular events. The general rule is one; the particular events are many. If one knows the general rule, it is easy to think of particular events. Example: general rule, "Where there is smoke, there is fire." Particular events: a barbecue, cigarette smoking, a forest fire. Also and most basic, if one sees smoke one will think fire.
