Axiomatic is an adjective that pertains to or relates to axioms. It describes something as intrinsically true, undeniable, or self-evident, forming the basis or foundation of a system of thought, knowledge, or belief. The term often refers to propositions, principles, or concepts that are universally accepted without requiring any proof or further justification. Axiomatic statements are assumed to be true and are used as starting points for logical reasoning or deductions.
In mathematics and logic, axiomatic systems establish a set of axioms, which are self-evident truths or unproven assumptions. These axioms serve as the fundamental building blocks upon which theorems and proofs are derived. Axiomatic reasoning allows mathematicians and logicians to develop logical arguments from a set of previously accepted principles.
Beyond mathematics, axiomatic principles can be found in various disciplines. In philosophy, certain ethical values or moral principles may be considered axiomatic, serving as the basis for ethical theories or systems. In science, certain fundamental laws or theories are often considered axiomatic, such as the laws of physics or the theory of evolution.
Overall, something that is axiomatic is regarded as unquestionably true and fundamental, forming the basis of a particular system or body of knowledge.
The word "axiomatic" is derived from the Ancient Greek word "axios" (ἄξιος), which means "worthy" or "deserving". In philosophy and logic, an "axiom" is a statement or proposition that is regarded as self-evidently true without requiring proof. Therefore, "axiomatic" refers to something that is accepted as true without evidence or as a self-evident truth.
