Presumption is a remarkably versatile and pervasively useful
resource. Firmly grounded in the law of evidence from its origins
in classical antiquity, it made its way in the days of medieval
scholasticism into the theory and practice of disputation and
debate. Subsequently, it extended its reach to play an increasingly
significant role in the philosophical theory of knowledge. It has
thus come to represent a region where lawyers, debaters, and
philosophers can all find some common ground. In Presumption and
the Practices of Tentative Cognition, Nicholas Rescher endeavors to
show that the process of presumption plays a role of virtually
indispensable utility in matters of rational inquiry and
communication. The origins of presumption may lie in law, but its
future is assured by its service to the theory of information
management and the philosophy of science.
