The problem with Inductive logic is to determined the actual truth or falsity of propositions: The problem of the deductive logic is to determine their relative truth or falsity, given such prepositions as true, what others will follow from them. All thought involved in likeness or unlikeness, and the laws of thought are the condition of the correct thinking. "St. George Stock"

Deductive or Inductive logic upon my understanding they are not of opposite matter. There's no such thing as right or wrong in both logic its how you come to the conclusion based on reality as proof.
