In logic, a progressive proof is called a proof in which the consequence is deduced for reasons.

There are two types of this evidence:

1. The process of justification runs from a general thesis to the thought to be proven as its consequence. A geologist e.g. B. proves the affiliation of a certain rock to a certain geological age due to the presence of characteristic features in this rock, which are typical for this geological age. Leonid Wassiljewitsch Rutkowski considers this form of progressive proof to be the most common and strongest. It is the most common form because thinking usually looks for support in general considerations and theses. It is the strongest because a thought derived from a generally undisputed thesis is always secure if it does not contradict other proven facts.
2. The process of justification descends from the thesis to be proven about facts as their logical consequences and confirms the thesis through the validity of the consequences. This form of progressive proof is used in cases where the necessity of certain actions or things can be proven by their usefulness. An engineer who wants to implement an improvement in production that he has proposed is z. B. try to prove the benefits it is supposed to bring.
