Argumen dari kesunyian

Argumen dari kesunyian (Latin: argumentum ex silentio) adalah sebuah argumen yang membuat suatu kesimpulan berdasarkan pada ketiadaan pernyataan dalam dokumen sejarah, alih-alih keberadaan mereka.^[2]^[3] Dalam bidang kajian klasik, istilah ini sering merujuk kepada anggapan bahwa seorang penulis dicap tidak mengetahui suatu hal hanya karena mereka tidak menyebutkannya di dalam tulisannya yang telah ditemukan.^[3]
