Given a line and a point not on the line, there is exactly one line parallel to the given line through the point

Axiomatic

It is not derived from other principles but serves as a fundamental assumption in Euclidean geometry

100

The speed of light in a vacuum is constant and is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source or observer

Axiomatic

In the context of Einstein's theory of relativity. This statement is treated as a postulate (an axiom-like foundation) for the theory of relativity.

100

It is a fundamental truth in the analysis of human actions that individuals seek to maximize their own benefit

Axiomatic

This statement is often treated as an axiom, forming the basis for models that explain and predict human behavior, in the context of classical economics and some social science theories.

100

Historical narratives are influenced by the perspectives of those who record them

Axiomatic 

True, as it is widely accepted that historians' perspectives shape historical narratives. This serves as a foundational principle in historiography.

100

The morality of an action is determined solely by its consequences.

Non-Axiomatic 

Not axiomatic because it is subject to extensive debate. Various ethical theories (e.g., deontology, virtue ethics) challenge this claim, showing it is not a universally self-evident or accepted truth.

300

There exists an infinite number of prime numbers

Non-Axiomatic 

This is a theorem rather than an axiom.

300

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form

Axiomatic

It is a fundamental principle that forms the basis for many physical laws. It is accepted without proof and used to explain a wide range of physical phenomena.

300

Humans are social animals

Axiomatic 

It is more of a widely observed fact in social sciences.

300

Historical events are subject to interpretation

Axiomatic 

This is true, as it is a fundamental principle of historical analysis that no event is understood without some degree of interpretation

300

The ends justify the means

Non-Axiomatic 

This is not an axiom because it is not universally accepted or self-evident. It is false or debatable, depending on the ethical framework.

500

A whole is greater than any of its parts.

Axiomatic 

It is a basic self-evident truth in mathematics, particularly in set theory and arithmetic, where the whole (e.g., a set) is always considered greater or equal to its individual parts.


500

Sun revolves around the Earth

Non-Axiomatic 

It is not self-evident and requires observational proof, making it a non-axiomatic statement.

500

People behave the same way in all cultures

Non-Axiomatic

It is an empirical claim that can be tested and disproven.

500

History is written by the victors

Non-Axiomatic 

Not a universally self-evident truth and can be challenged with multiple perspectives and sources. 

500

Stealing is wrong in every situation

Non-Axiomatic 

 This statement is not universally accepted without debate. Different ethical frameworks and contexts (e.g., stealing to survive) challenge this statement, making it a matter of interpretation rather than a self-evident truth.
