Abstract

Common sense is a feature of contemporary philosophy that, though often used, is not often discussed. Few volumes provide a systematic discussion of the topic. This book tries to remedy that. The volume contains both historical papers and papers on how common sense features in contemporary philosophical discussions. Unlike other titles in the Cambridge Companions to Philosophy series, this volume discusses a field in philosophy that isn’t clearly delineated. The term common-sense philosophy is commonly used to refer to historical currents in philosophy, most notably that of Thomas Reid and the Scottish school of common sense (see below). The focus of the volume, however, is much broader. As a result, the contributions are more diverse than usual in similar volumes. Nonetheless, the volume consists of a coherent set of papers discussing similar themes.The historical section (part 1) consists of papers exploring several views on common sense throughout the history of Western philosophy, while the second part of the book investigates the role of various forms of common sense in contemporary debates. Some papers in part 1 have a fairly broad scope, discussing views on common sense in Greek philosophy (Richard Bett), early modern philosophy (Stephen I. Wagner), and the
