1. (Logic & Math.) A self-evident and necessary truth, or a
proposition whose truth is so evident as first sight that
no reasoning or demonstration can make it plainer; a
proposition which it is necessary to take for granted; as,
"The whole is greater than a part;" "A thing can not, at
the same time, be and not be."
[1913 Webster]
2. An established principle in some art or science, which,
though not a necessary truth, is universally received; as,
the axioms of political economy.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Axiom, Maxim, Aphorism, Adage.
Usage: An axiom is a self-evident truth which is taken for
granted as the basis of reasoning. A maxim is a
guiding principle sanctioned by experience, and
relating especially to the practical concerns of life.
An aphorism is a short sentence pithily expressing
some valuable and general truth or sentiment. An adage
is a saying of long-established authority and of
universal application.
