Foundations

Foundational presuppositions ought to be much more fundamental [...]. To me, the really basic assumptions are that I exist; that the world exists; that I can sense this world imperfectly; that there are other beings with whom I can communicate (imperfectly again) who are also trying to sense the nature of this world. From there we try to build a coherent model of that perceived world, using as much evidence as we can glean. - PZ Myers from: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/06/28/beware-presuppositionalists/
