| On Presuppositions |
Francis A. Schaeffer,
How Should We Then Live?, Ch. 1 |
People have presuppositions, and they will live more consistently
on the basis of these presuppositions than even they themselves may realize. By
presuppositions we mean the basic way an individual looks at life, his basic world-view,
the grid through which he sees the world. Presuppositions rest upon that which a person
considers to be the truth of what exists. People's presuppositions lay a grid for all they
bring forth into the external world. Their presuppositions also provide the basis for
their values and therefore the basis for their decisions.
