A contradiction of a statement is a statement that proves the previous statement wrong.
To demonstrate the validity of a statement using proof by absurdity or contradiction, we assume the opposite of the statement is true and then show that this assumption leads to a logical contradiction or absurdity. This contradiction proves that the original statement must be true.
In general a contradiction cannot be proved.
To prove a statement by contradiction one begins by assuming the statement is not true. Contradiction is the act of giving the opposing something that you feel is not right.
To prove by contradiction, you assume that an opposite assumption is true, then disprove the opposite statement.
To determine if the second statement is the contradiction of the first, we need to analyze the meanings of both statements. A contradiction occurs when one statement asserts something that cannot coexist with the other. If the second statement directly negates the truth of the first, then it is indeed a contradiction. Otherwise, they may be related but not contradictory.
opposite
Self-contradiction in logic occurs when a statement contradicts itself or leads to a logical inconsistency. One example is the statement "This statement is false." If the statement is true, then it must be false, but if it is false, then it must be true, creating a paradox. Another example is the statement "I always lie," which leads to a similar contradiction.
The statement was a contradiction in itself.
Indirect reasoning is a method of proving a statement by showing that its negation leads to a contradiction or inconsistency. Instead of proving a statement directly, one assumes the negation of the statement and derives a contradiction to demonstrate that the original statement must be true.
A contradiction is a statement or situation that is logically inconsistent, while a paradox is a statement or situation that seems contradictory but may actually be true or make sense in a different way.
