An ontology of assumptions
- Cultural
- Biological
- Intellectual -- with rational, emotional, or ethical appeals
- Idiosyncratic -- my personal history
- warranted -- those with evidence
- unwarranted -- those without evidence
- explicit -- stated directly
- implicit -- must be derived
- relevancy and validity -- connect the argument, analogy, generalization to the general case
- limiting assumption -- keeps us from seeing situation/evidence clearly
