Example[edit]
Can someone give an example?
- Example: "Don't buy that or else you won't have enough money!" The person is assuming that he doesn't have enough money to pay for it.
Versus presumption[edit]
Could someone explain the difference here? Tyciol (talk) 06:42, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Hrm, hrm[edit]
I think this page might need to be split between its bottom-half, which is actually a disambiguation, and the its top half, which is more like a WP:CONCEPTDAB. I'll have to look for good sources first, because most logic books do not define "assumption". As for the synonymy with presupposition in pragmatics I used this as ref. But I see that other pragmatics books define presupposition as an unstated assumption. So it's pretty messy. Tijfo098 (talk) 06:09, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed on the split, if the concept can be article-fied. The top half seemed more dictionary-like, with distinct definitions. If any of those concepts can be article-fied, they should probably go to Assumption (theology), Assumption (logic), etc. -- I'm assuming none of them would be the primary topic. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:17, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
