Synopsis

This book explores the fundamental ideas and beliefs that form the foundation of our everyday understanding of the world, known as common sense. The author argues that common sense is not simply a collection of inherited beliefs, but rather a dynamic and evolving set of ideas that are constantly being shaped by our experiences and interactions with the world around us. The book delves into the psychological and philosophical underpinnings of common sense, examining how we acquire knowledge, make judgments, and navigate the complexities of social life. It also explores the relationship between common sense and more formal systems of thought, such as science and philosophy, arguing that these different ways of knowing the world are not necessarily in conflict, but rather complementary. Ultimately, this book provides a deeper understanding of the nature of human cognition and the ways in which we make sense of the world around us.
