It refers to the strategy of proving a proposition false by deducing an absurd conclusion (often a contradiction) from it in conjunction with other known premises. Such arguments are common in math. They were used to prove that the square root of two is not a rational number (and thus that there are such things as irrational numbers) and that there is no larg..."

For example, if you know that Socrates was sentenced to death, and that Bertrand Russell is like Socrates, you might infer either that Bertrand Russell was sentenced to death or (more plausibly) that something ''like'' being sentenced to death happened to Russell. As stated, neither of the two..."

What argument are you using? Perhaps this one: thumb|center|500px This is a valid deductive argument, but P3 is false. There are other things that could cause such a pattern of impressions in the ground. For example, a machine could easily be made that could do the task. O..."

For example, you might infer from premises about particular men being mortal, to the conclusion that all men are mortal. It is either primarily or exclusively from induction that we acquire the universal knowledge that then gets applied in deductions. However, whereas deduction is well understood, the n..."
