ENGLISH 75 – CHAPTER 5
Definition of assumption:
Assumption can be define as something we take for granted, something we accept prematurely as being true, something we do not check out carefully. Often, we do not recognize that we have made an assumption until it causes a problem for us.
Assumption can be conscious or unconscious, warranted or unwarranted. Unconscious and unwarranted assumptions can lead to faulty reasoning, whereas conscious and warranted assumptions can be useful tools for solving problems.
Hidden assumptions are unconscious assumptions that greatly influence a line of reasoning.
