then there`s..........

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectic

of which the socratic is my favorite. to challenge pre-suppositions is the core of my work as a therapist.

if what you believe is false then everything you depend on for that falsity, by reduction, is also false.

many caught up in political , social and moral debates are basing thier arguements on false premises.

this is true of people trying to find meaning in thier lives, spiritually, monitarily and in relationships also.

what we pre-suppose becomes real through our will, whether logical, rational or otherise.

we plainly make it so, or die trying.
