“Deductivism” is a broad label for various theories that emphasize the importance of deductive argument in contexts of rational discussion. This paper makes a case for a very specific form of deductivism. The paper highlights the dialectical importance of advancing deductively valid arguments (with plausible premises) in natural-language reasoning. Sections 2 and 3 explain the various forms that deductivism has taken. Section 4 makes a case for a particular form of deductivism. Section 5 discusses the value of deductive argument in law. Section 6 concludes and acknowledges critical questions that need to be addressed more fully in future work.

方法论演绎主义在论证建构中的价值

“演绎主义”是各种理论的广泛标签，强调演绎论证在理性讨论的背景下的重要性。本文为演绎主义的一种非常具体的形式提供了一个案例。该论文强调了在自然语言推理中推进演绎有效论证（具有合理前提）的辩证重要性。第 2 节和第 3 节解释了演绎主义所采取的各种形式。第 4 节为特定形式的演绎主义提供了理由。第 5 节讨论演绎论证在法律中的价值。第 6 节总结并承认需要在未来工作中更充分解决的关键问题。
