Question

In deductive reasoning ideas are tested against the empirical world; in ___________, empirical observations lead to new ideas.

Answer 1

inductive reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

There are essentially two different kinds of reasoning when it comes to new ideas:

1. Inductive reasoning: This reasoning focuses in particular observations that will lead to generalizations.
2. Deductive reasoning: This reasoning is the opposite of the first one and it focuses in generalizations and ideas which will be tested in particular observations.

Therefore, in inductive reasoning, empirical observations lead to new ideas.
