👉 In philosophy, a hypothesis is an educated guess or conjecture that has not been proven true. The term "hypothesis" comes from Latin and means a prediction or belief that can be tested with evidence. These hypotheses are often used to test and refine scientific theories. Hypotheses can take many forms, including statements about the nature of reality, scientific laws, beliefs, or even hypothetical scenarios.
