Hypothesis

A hypothesis (from Greek ὑπόθεσις) consists either of a suggested explanation for a phenomenon or of a reasoned proposal suggesting a possible correlation between multiple phenomena. The term derives from the Greek, hypotithenai meaning "to put under" or "to suppose."

Thanks, I was looking for the definition of that term. Do you read Derrida, Walter Benjamin? Just was writing a piece on the sewers in the Arcades Project, as they deal with the discounted and the poetics Baudelaire and Victor Hugo's writings. Do you like French Literature? If so check out
my blogs which are: http://shittybear.blogspot.com
and
