View source for Philosophy:Tacit assumption

A '''tacit assumption''' or '''implicit assumption''' is an assumption that underlies a logical argument, course of action, [[Decision-making|decision]], or judgment that is not explicitly voiced nor necessarily understood by the decision maker or judge. These assumptions may be made based on personal life experiences, and are not consciously apparent in the decision making environment. These assumptions can be the source of apparent [[Philosophy:Paradox|paradox]]es, misunderstandings and [[Social:Resistance to change|resistance to change]] in human [[Organization:Organization|organization]]al behavior.
