Common-sense philosophy is important because it maintains that we can
know many things about the world, about ourselves, about morality, and
even about things of a metaphysical nature. The tenets of common-sense
philosophy, while in some sense obvious and unsurprising, give rise to
powerful arguments that can shed light on fundamental philosophical
issues, including the perennial problem of scepticism and the emerging
challenge of scientism. This Companion offers an exploration of
common-sense philosophy in its many forms, tracing its development as
a concept and considering the roles it has been assigned to play
throughout the history of philosophy. Containing fifteen newly
commissioned chapters from leading experts in the history of
philosophy, epistemology, the philosophy of science, moral philosophy
and metaphysics, the volume will be an essential guide for students
and scholars hoping to gain a greater understanding of the value and
enduring appeal of common-sense philosophy.
