It is the indispensable basis for making our way in the world as individuals and in community with others, and the starting point for finding truth and building scientific knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy of common-sense realism deeply informed the American Founders' vision for a self-governing people, in a society where leaders and average citizens share essentially the same understanding of reality—of what simply makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut today, our confidence in the value and reliability of common sense has been badly shaken. Deep thinkers have rejected it. Elites have learned to disdain it. We're told that we have moved into a more sophisticated world, where common sense is passé and the very concept of truth is outmoded. Indeed, the Oxford Dictionaries selected \"post-truth\" as the Word of the Year for 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo we actually live in a post-truth reality? Have we moved beyond common sense? Can we?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Robert Curry exposes the absurdity of the attacks on common sense and demonstrates that we still live and move in the realm of common sense in our every waking moment. Drawing from philosophy and literature, science and psychiatry, \u003cem\u003eReclaiming Common Sense\u003c\/em\u003e helps us regain our trust in the \"superpower\" we all have in common, while reminding us that we cannot get along without it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849926562028,"sku":"9781641770743","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14697553482772.jpg?v=1759062916"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/robert-curry.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
