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)
