by Jon McKinney through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This competent piece traces the three main types of reasoning through issues. We find the terms "valid" and "sound" defined with regard to the probability of inductive reasoning, certainty within the framework of deduction and a world where language and logic breakdown through the infinitudinal approach of the reductio ad absurdam, bane of the Western thinker.
Your explanation of Reductio ad absurdum (or at least Xenos's paradoxes) don't sound like what I had previously understood. Interesting explanation though, thanks for posting.
