296. This is what we call an
“empirical foundation” for our assumptions.
that the same thing has happened again –
is not proof – but it gives us the right to
assume it
and this then is what we call –
the ‘empirical foundation’ of our
assumptions –
‘a right
to assume’?
as if there is some authority –
behind assumption –
the authority of a right
the point of assumption is that there is no
authority –
we assume –
in the absence of authority –
and any assumption –
is uncertain –
which is to say –
without foundation
