Translation of "Presupone" in English

Y esta pregunta es equivocada porque presupone

And it's the wrong question because it assumes

Considero la conciencia fundamental. Considero la materia como derivado de la conciencia. No podemos dejar de lado la conciencia. Todo lo que hablamos, todo lo que consideramos existente presupone la conciencia.

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.
