Abstract
This study examines the conceptions of and approached to, deductive reasoning of people involved in mathematics education and logic. Data source includes 21 individual semi-structured interviews. Data analysis reveals two different meanings attributed to deductive reasoning. One approach focuses on the systematic process; the other on the essence of the inference as based on rules of formal logic. In addition, three conceptions regarding the relationships between logical rules inside and outside mathematics were identified, namely, unification, inclusion, and separation. Interconnections between the meaning attributed to deductive reasoning and the approach to logical rules inside and outside mathematics are discussed.
