TFY -- Chapter Five Assumptions
This chapter concerns another familiar word, assumptions, demonstrating some surprising complexities in the term. Multiple exercises will show you how assumptions relate to facts and inferences, how they affect thinking, how they affect arguments, and how they might be unraveled and clarified. A writing application involves an expository essay on assumption recognition and its role in creative problem solving. A reading selection by Edward de Bono demonstrates the role of assumptions in creative thinking. A second selection by David Low shows us how assumptions affect family relationships.
