Episode summary
Two people can agree on many facts and still reach opposite conclusions. This episode follows the deeper structure of disagreement: which evidence counts, which assumptions connect evidence to conclusions, and which first principles govern judgment.
Questions for the conversation
- Why do arguments often begin in the middle?
- How can people agree on evidence yet disagree about what follows?
- What role do hidden premises play in law, science, history, and theology?
- How can a disagreement move forward once those premises become visible?
- Why does recognizing assumptions not require relativism?
