1. There are several ways of the analysis of the world around, one of them - deductive. Often it is defined how a conclusion of private judgment from the general prerequisites - "from the particular to the general". Unfortunately, from the formal point of view this definition though is graceful, but is not absolutely right. Deduction is a conclusion of judgment, proceeding from logical need. In other words, a conclusion will be right if prerequisites are right. For example, Sherlock Holmes in one of stories draws a conclusion that his visitor was in China, proceeding from a fresh tattoo of characteristic color recently. Holmes's thoughts at the same time moved as follows: - only China is able to do tattoos of such coloring; - my visitor has such tattoo; - therefore, it was in China.
