Reductio Ad Absurdum is a logical argument technique used to demonstrate that a statement is false by showing that it leads to an absurd or contradictory conclusion. This method involves assuming the statement is true and then deriving an illogical outcome, which indicates that the original assumption must be incorrect.
This approach is commonly used in mathematics and philosophy to challenge the validity of arguments. By illustrating the extreme consequences of a claim, Reductio Ad Absurdum helps clarify the limits of reasoning and encourages critical thinking about the implications of various assertions.
