what does " the foundational assumption of our species” in “Such efforts attack the very idea that make-up stories can matter, which is sort of the foundational assumption of our species” mean?
- Inglês (EUA)
Foundational comes from the word foundation as in the base.
Assumption comes from assume, which is to come up with an idea without any proof or perhaps based on context.
Together, foundational assumption is referring to a base idea that supports this person’s argument. Calling it an assumption might be saying that it lack validity/credibility
By itself, the sentence is complex and a bit strange, I’m not sure what the “foundational assumption” is that the author is referring to.
