• Reductio_ad_absurdum abstract "Reductio ad absurdum (Latin: \"reduction to absurdity\"; pl.: reductiones ad absurdum), also known as argumentum ad absurdum (Latin: \"argument to absurdity\", pl.: argumenta ad absurdum), is a common form of argument which seeks to demonstrate that a statement is true by showing that a false, untenable, or absurd result follows from its denial, or in turn to demonstrate that a statement is false by showing that a false, untenable, or absurd result follows from its acceptance.First recognized and studied in classical Greek philosophy (the Latin term derives from the Greek ἐις ἀτοπον ἀπαγωγή or eis atopon apagoge, \"reduction to the impossible\", for example in Aristotle's Prior Analytics), this technique has been used throughout history in both formal mathematical and philosophical reasoning, as well as informal debate.The \"absurd\" conclusion of a reductio ad absurdum argument can take a range of forms: The Earth cannot be flat, otherwise we would find people falling off the edge. There is no smallest positive rational number, because if there were, then it could be divided by two to get a smaller one.The first example above argues that the denial of the assertion would have a ridiculous result; it would go against the evidence of our senses. The second is a mathematical proof by contradiction, arguing that the denial of the premise would result in a logical contradiction (there is a \"smallest\" number and yet there is a number smaller than it).".
