%X A framework is developed for
understanding what is <span>ˇ°</span><span>taken for granted</span><span>ˇ±</span><span> both in philosophy
and in life generally, which may serve to orient philosophical inquiry and make
it more effective. The framework takes in language and its development, as well
as mathematics, logic, and the empirical sphere with particular reference to
the exigencies of life. It is evaluated through consideration of seven
philosophical issues concerned with such topics as solipsism, sense data as the
route to knowledge, the possible reduction of geometry to logic, and the
existence and status of human rights. Various dichotomies and the notion of
continuity are evidently highly strategic.</span>
