Document Summary
They are quasi-conscious presuppositions that individuals in a given culture hold as a way of organizing their experience. While they change over time, that change can be gradual & not always recognized. If they are brought to consciousness, they can be critiqued & even altered. We are not free if we do not know that our fca"s are & how they control our lives. It is not usually in the interest of ruling powers to let underlying assumptions come to consciousness. There are assumptions held by individuals & can in/out of harmony with the prevailing cultural ones. Ur: ultimate reality refers to assumptions about what is the foundation of being. It is the deepest humans can go in understanding what the world is made of & what our relationship to that foundation may be. It is not foundational, but it is present to our senses.
