TFY Chapter 5 - Assumptions
Assumption: something we take for granted, something we accept prematurely as being true, something we don't check out carefully.
Can be conscious or unconscious, warranted or unwarranted.
Hidden assumptions are unconscious assumptions that greatly influence reasoning.
Arguments are the use of reasoning to defend an idea or pursuade someone else to believe it.
