Sound reasoning is the case where an argument is valid & the premises are true. Many people falsely say deduction is all about validity.This is not so! Validity is pattern recognition alone without regard to subject content; therefore this makes some reasoning from patterns Deductive & some Inductive. Deduction is where it is IMPOSSIBLE to have true premises & a false conclusion. Induction is another word for SCIENCE. Deduction is a method of CERTAINTY. Induction is Probability --never certain.
Formal reasoning (DEDUCTION) can be done with NO prior knowlege & No prior experience simply because I recognize a set pattern. So in essence I can argue things I know nothing about & still make sense because I follow a pattern. Don't believe me, then google these known logical patterns: modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism, logical rules of inference. All these are patterns where variables are used. Variable can stand for any phrase or statement to plug in where needed.
Guys this is a good attempt. However, the definitions are not accurate. Deductive reasoning is reasoning by pattern atleast in Philosophy. You are probably learning from a Math text. Math logic is NOT the same as logic taugh in a legit Philosophy class. Math gets many things incorrect technically such as your example does with deduction. Deduction is also called "formal reasoning" which indicates PATTERNS. I can look at an argument by its pattern to see if the argument is sound or not.
Great job, guys! I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Thanks for explaining it like you did.

I don't know why I just watched this, but it was actually a good explanation of deductive vs inductive reasoning.
