Detectives and deduction.

[Фантом]

I think there is no person who does not know at least one of such people as the famous Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle, Hercule Poirot or Marple Agatha Christie mimm, Lieutenant Colombo (with his famous cloak) or closer to us in time Erast Petrovich Fandorin Boris Akunin (recently learned that the word "Akunin" in Japanese means the devil, and that Boris Akunin himself is a connoisseur of this language).

All these people have different fates, they all revealed crimes somehow in their own way, someone had their own method of deduction. I also want to ask you about deduction, dear comrades in the forum.

Faced with the word deduction in childhood (thanks to the same detective literature, for example), I formed a certain vague idea about it, and didn’t think about it especially, and it so happened that the first definition of the word deduction did not give me anything, but a textbook of philosophy .

Deduction, as the textbook said, is a logical conclusion from the general to the particular.
The textbook also wrote that deduction is opposed to induction.

But it’s one thing when we give a definition to a concept in the context of philosophy, and it’s quite another when we are interested in the definition of a given word that is necessary for a detective, a detective.

So, what is deduction in the sense that you and I need, dear gentlemen detectives? Where can I read about what it is, about the various methods of deduction, about the methods of deduction used by famous detectives?

The question, of course, is provocative. So I will answer the questioner also with elements of provocation ...
Searches something very similar to sex. Some people like to deal with them directly, others like reading, talking, reasoning, fantasizing, collecting thematic cards, stamps, badges, magazines, films, books, etc., i.e. treat him like a cult ...
Deduction (a deductive method of analyzing available information) is one of the methods used by detectives. By analogy with the same sex, this is one of the possible positions ...: oops:

I don’t want to develop a dispute, but it sounds, you must agree, it’s not clear: how can a detective ask such a question: So, what is deduction in the sense that you and I need, dear gentlemen detectives? Where can I read about what it is, about the various methods of deduction, about the methods of deduction used by famous detectives? ..... do not consider it to be incorrect, but I would answer- IN THE CONSECT OF INTRODUCTORY LECTURES ON THE ORD OF MANY ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION ...... if such notes (or similar ones) were in reality ..... if not, then the answers are IN ACROSS DETECTIVE DETECTIVES )) BOOKS about the listed investigators)) ..... what else remains? ...... turning on the DEDUCTION METHOD, I ask: HOW DOES THE DETECTIVE DEVELOP THEME Oh ... HYPNOSIS, DEDUCTIONS, ALIENS, etc. ugly components of the NPV, so right away, no photos, no contacts, or the like? ..... here I sit and think the place where the brain could be ........

Deduction (lat. Deductio - derivation) - a method of thinking in which a particular position is logically deduced from the general, a conclusion according to the rules of logic; a chain of conclusions (reasoning), the links of which (statements) are connected by the relation of logical following. The beginning (premises) of deduction are axioms, postulates or simply hypotheses having the nature of general statements (“general”), and the end is the consequences of premises, theorems (“particular”). If the premises of deduction are true, then its consequences are true. Deduction is the primary means of proof.

Dear Phantom! There are more practitioners here than theoreticians. Everyone has a fairly large school of work in various structures. And DD is a continuation of his work, but for the soul and body.

Hello everyone .... the question is good, but it’s a catch ....- apparently there are none among us who are written in the above books (I especially liked the latest, modern film "Sherlock Holmes) ... our the deductive method consists of four endings on the "E" - 1. knowledge, 2. desire, 3. diligence and 4. luck ...
1. Any specialist in his field must have the necessary knowledge (both the legal framework, and the local area, and communication features, etc.), without which it is not possible to become a specialist;
2. To become not just any specialist, but a good specialist - you need to want your job, to want it as a woman ..... and maybe even more ...;
3. Try and puff, pour sweat and freeze, lose weight and get drunk .... - and this is mandatory in our profession;
4. You can be a very good and hardworking and painstaking specialist ..... you can shovel the whole house in search of one witness ..... or you can just go into the apartment you need and get the right information - the detective should be lucky ... at least intuitively. ...
Here is our deductive method ..... everything is simple - know what you are doing, wish to achieve a result, try your best, and be lucky ....... successful all hunting ...

So, dear comrades in the forum. I will not answer all of you, but I will answer most of all. At least so that in the future there will be no omissions or conflicts.

Starting to write this topic, I forgot to make a reservation that I am not a professional in the field to which the forum is dedicated. Therefore, I ask all the comrades in the forum not to bite me very much. Besides the fact that I am a beginner, I am also quite young, although my early youth has already passed.

Dear Vadim Tailor! No, I'm not writing an article. It’s just that I’m interested in one area of human activity that is very related to the activities of the detective. That is what caused my question.

Dear Mr. Budaev Imagine a situation: a person registered on the forum, hiding the true face without giving a name, moreover, calling himself a mysterious pseudonym "Phantom". You can think a lot, including suspecting a provocation.
But I say absolutely honestly: I did not want my question to be provocative, even if it turned out to be such. It was an accident! Forgive me, dear forum users!

Dear Alexander. You wrote to me about Arthur Conan Doyle. But I have a question for you: why Conan Doyle? Why not anyone else of the characters I have named?
After all, any detective story, whether it is a story or a film poured a lot, tells us a little about who the detectives, detectives, investigators, opera are ... Why Holmes?

Dear Igor Nikolaevich! You say - action-packed literature of the detective genre. But I will answer you with all possible frankness: I did not read fiction detectives too much, but not enough. In addition, I continue to read similar literature)
But the main thing: are there not any scientific papers or developments on the subject of the detective? After all, since you find work on the same Internet in an area such as competitive intelligence, for example, is there really nothing that would be devoted to the activities of a detective?
After all, action books are understandable ...)

Thanks to the others.

I also want to say (and perhaps repeat) this. Yes, people gathered here who have been practicing for many years, but I don’t have it, I’m not even a professional! So once again I ask all of you - do not be so stingy)
