Reductio ad Absurdum: Planning Proofs by Contradiction
Sometimes it is pragmatically useful to prove a theorem by contradiction rather than finding a direct proof. Some reductio ad absurdum arguments have made mathematical history and the general issue if and how a proof by contradiction can be replaced by a direct proof touches upon deep foundational issues such as the legitimacy of tertium non datur arguments in classical vs. intuitionistic found...
متن کاملIbn Sīnā on Reductio Ad Absurdum
This paper studies the analysis of reductio ad absurdum by Ibn Sı̄nā (known to the Latin West as Avicenna), who was born in 980 in a village near the Bactrian town of Balkh on the Silk Road, and died in 1037 after a career spent moving around within the present boundaries of Iran. References to Ibn Sı̄nā’s writings are to his Arabic texts listed in the bibliography, and are given in the format pa...
متن کاملReductio ad Absurdum Argumentation in Normal Logic Programs
This paper introduces a new method for defining the argumentative semantics of Normal Logic Programs. In doing so, our single and unified approach allows one to obtain the Stable Models [11] as a special case, or the more general Revision Complete Scenarios here defined. Normal Logic Programs are approached as assumption-based argumentation systems. We generalize this setting by allowing both n...
متن کاملReductio Ad Absurdum and Slippery Slope Arguments: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Despite the fact that the reductio ad absurdum argument is a valid deductive form, while the slippery slope argument is most often presented as a fallacious form of inductive argument, the two argument types bear some striking similarities. Investigation of these similarities reveals some more universal difficulties in the teaching of informal logic, and, in particular the difference between st...
متن کاملA Reductio Ad Absurdum Experiment in Sufficiency for Evaluating (Computational) Creative Systems
We consider a combination of two recent proposals for characterizing computational creativity and explore the sufficiency of the resultant framework. We do this in the form of a gedanken experiment designed to expose the nature of the framework, what it has to say about computational creativity, how it might be improved and what questions this raises.
